Description of problem: ======================= meld needs dbus-x11 to function and its package does not depend on it- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ============================================================= 1.2-2.fc10.noarch How reproducible: ================= yum -y remove dbus-x11 (and try to run Meld) Actual results: =============== Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ImportError: could not import bonobo.ui Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/meld", line 109, in <module> meldapp.main() File "/usr/share/meld/meldapp.py", line 855, in main app = MeldApp() File "/usr/share/meld/meldapp.py", line 528, in __init__ self.prefs = MeldPreferences() File "/usr/share/meld/meldapp.py", line 465, in __init__ prefs.Preferences.__init__(self, "/apps/meld", self.defaults) File "/usr/share/meld/prefs.py", line 91, in __init__ self._gconf.add_dir(rootkey, gconf.CLIENT_PRELOAD_NONE) glib.GError: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session) Expected results: ================= # yum -y install dbus-x11 # meld Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ImportError: could not import bonobo.ui (then, of course, meld opens its window) Additional info: ================ I discovered the missing dependency while running meld via an ssh-X11 redirection on machines where X was not installed. On a side note: I like Meld a lot. It's so handy!
I think this is a duplicate of bug # 475475 and the culprit is not dbus-x11 but gnome-python2-bonobo.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
