Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): opyum-0.0.3-1.fc9.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install opyum 2.start opyum 3. Actual Results: # opyum Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/opyum", line 42, in <module> from pirut import * ImportError: No module named pirut Expected Results: program start Additional info:
Pirut is no longer a part of Fedora from Fedora 9 onwards. It has been replaced by PackageKit, and offline package management support is in the works as part of this year's Google Summer of Code. So very soon it will also replace Opyum. For the moment, its not possible to use Opyum on Fedora 9 since it had a massive dependency on Pirut's classes. Yum still allows you to install Opyum because PackageKit has "Provides: pirut", which is true from a functionality standpoint, but not from the way Opyum looks at it. The situation is unfortunate, but we hope to have offline capabilities in PackageKit sometime soon, and Opyum has been marked as dead in Rawhide.
