"neat" and "redhat-config-network" no longer work after some package upgrades

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030610 Galeon/1.3.5 Description of problem: "neat" and "redhat-config-network" both run fine, of course, on a fresh install of RH9. But after some upgrading (using apt-rpm) from the RH9-updates section of http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/apt/redhat/ and some updates of gnome from http://people.ecsc.co.uk/~matt/downloads/apt/redhat-9-i386/ , neither of these two commands does anything except dump an error: ------------------------------ [brett@Miles brett]$ neat ** (redhat-config-network-gui:2131): WARNING **: --- you're entering a whole world of pain --- (redhat-config-network:2131): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gobject.c:946: object class `GnomeProgram' has no property named `default-icon' ------------------------------ redhat-cofig-network then fails to load, and an error dialog pops up containing the error that I've attached to this report. Note that the error in the attachment is from the rawhide version of redhat-config-network. It's the same when using the RH9 version. I don't really know what is wrong... I've played with upgrading and downgrading my gnome2-python, python2, libxml2, libxml2-python, pygtk packages... to no avail. What I have *not* tried is downgrading to glib2-2.2.1-x, as this will break almost all of the rest of gnome... I'm running development packages. By the look of the first warning, it seems that this might be an issue. I've used both the rawhide and independent builds of glib2-2.2.2-1, and the results are the same. All the other redhat-config-x packages seem to work fine, though redhat-config-services dumps the same error as above at the terminal, but then runs fine. I'm about out of ideas. B Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network(-tui)-1.2.0-2, -1.3.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.either from a terminal or from the menu, run "redhat-config-network" 2.enter password for pam 3. Actual Results: the errors reported in the description Expected Results: I should be able to see and change my network settings, yo! Additional info: see attachment
Created attachment 92348 [details] the error dialog
better get the updates from: http://people.redhat.com/harald/redhat-config-network
Hello... and thanks for the updates. I removed the old versions and installed the new ones fresh, and --force 'd rhpl because I was using the rawhide version... Tried to run redhat-config-network and it still fails... though it dumps a different error this time. I'll post an attachment. This all seems to have to do with python, to me. Any idea what is causing this? Just for reference, these are the versions I'm running: gnome-python2-bonobo-1.99.14-5 gnome-python2-gconf-1.99.14-5 python-optik-1.4-2 rpm-python-4.2-0.69 gnome-python2-1.99.14-5 gnome-python2-canvas-1.99.14-5 gnome-python2-gnomevfs-1.99.14-5 gnome-python2-nautilus-1.99.14-5 libxml2-python-2.5.7-1 python-2.2.2-26 gnome-python2-applet-1.99.14-5 gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-1.99.14-5 pygtk2-1.99.16-6 pygtk2-libglade-1.99.16-6 I've tried with rawhide python and rawhite gnome-python2 packages, and still it fails. This is frustrating because r-c-n is a great program. B

This seems to be fixed in the newest version of redhat-config-network. Just tried 1.3.1-1 and it runs fine all of a sudden. I don't know what the problems above were related to, but they seem to have gone away. Rock on. B
