gnome-btdownload runs a python script which issues a warning and then fails to load gnomevfs. easy work-around open /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/vfs.py and change gnomevfs on line 4 to gnome.vfs though that probably breaks other things? might be best just to add another line? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gnome-btdownload 2. 3. Actual Results: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/vfs.py:4: DeprecationWarning: Module gnome.vfs is deprecated; please import gnomevfs instead DeprecationWarning) argv: ['/usr/bin/gnome-btdownload'] Expected Results: should pop up a nice gui
That error message seems sort of backward then...It says gnome.vfs is deprecated, yet you said you had to change it from gnomevfs? Is that error message before or after you change it?
My guess is that it's a dependency problem. The right packages are selected, but the wrong versions of those packages. This is my guess, but I have no basis that it is true other than my own logic: The package which "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gnome/vfs.py" is part of (just a guess: gtkpython?) wants you to know that you need to call "gnome.vfs" the new way, "gnomevfs". However, the package that "gnomevfs" belongs to is an older version and still has it labeled as "gnome.vfs". If this package were newer, then it would probably be able to understand that both gnomevfs (new way) and gnome.vfs (old way) but it only knows the old way, so it fails.
Can you test the ebuild for 0.0.22 (see bug 107765) and determine whether the problem still persists? Thanks.
gnome-btdownload-0.0.22 is in the tree for some time now and looks it working fine. also - no feedback from reporter. i'm closing it
I've emerge --sync and emerge -uD world a few times since then and I haven't had to do anything special to get it working. The problem I was having at the time may have been due to mixing certain ~x86 or masked packages with x86.
