Description Mads Kiilerich 2009-05-23 12:12:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

Coding error in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhpl/keyboard.py is eaten by blank except clause.

kb = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object("org.freedesktop.Hal", kbs[0], 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device'))
should be
kb = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object("org.freedesktop.Hal", kbs[0]), 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device')

The consequence is that Sun keyboards doesn't work as intended.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

f10 rhpl-0.218-1.i386

I just noticed that the problem is solved in rawhide, so this might be a won't fix for f10 ...
Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2009-06-01 21:00:48 UTC 
We generally don't release updates of packages like rhpl since it's so tied in with anaconda and therefore doesn't really benefit from doing updates.  I suppose we could if the problem is serious enough.
