configure: error: Could not find python module bonobo - make sure you have gnome-python with support for libbonobo-2.0 >= 2.14.0 installed when emerging orca-package, included by gnome-ebuild. package bonobo-python was removed in Dec '06 (GWN from 25th?). Neither libbonobo nor libbonoboui include any python-sources. Reproducible: Always

Reopen with actual errors and config.log attached; we don't want any references to forums.g.o. or any other external links.
If you don't need info like the info provided, I can't help you with that. Everytime I try to emerge orca it fails during configure with the same message: «configure: error: Could not find python module bonobo - make sure you have gnome-python with support for libbonobo-2.0 >= 2.14.0 installed» There was module bonobo-python in portage tree, but it disappeared somewhere back in December 2006 (GWN from 25th of December). So what info do you need in addition to already existing one, to ask someone (or look up the stable ebuilds for orca or the ebuilds referenced by gnome ebuild, e.g. orca in app-accessibility), if there's a dependency to something called bonobo-python? I don't care about any technical sort of information hidden in a log somewhere in /var/bla/foo/portage/your-build-version-number-xyz. If you're not able to reproduce: my fault, close as WONTFIX or WORKSFORME. You're responsible for proper error messages, I take care 'bout posting them here. Thanks for understanding and patience.
> (In reply to comment #4) BTW: why is there no bug when searching for «orca», not even my own? What's the use of a «description» or search action, if I can't find what I'm looking for? (I know, RESOLVED might suggest, that there is no bug, but there *was* one - maybe I'm a bit old school).
A few things : 1) We _want_ the info, but we also want you to attach it in bugzilla for easier research. Reading through forums (even our own) can be tedious. Having the info properly attached here saves time for everyone. 2) You _should_ care about the technical info in /var/portage/blah ... that's what we need to help you. We don't want you to analyze it yourself, we just want you to give it to us. 3) NEEDINFO means exactly that. There's no underlying personal attack. So please reopen the bug once you've attached the files Jakub asked you. That's all there is to it. Thanks
cleanup your old python versions and run python-updater, it should fix your problem.
The message may be slightly misleading; I was also having the identical problem. In my case the root cause apparently wasn't that it couldn't find bonobo, but that it couldn't import bonobo. (This after I had emerged dev-python/libbonbo-python, cleaned out python-2.4.4-r13, and run python-updater. Puzzled me a little.) If I enter python and type in # python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct 28 2008, 17:15:29) [GCC 4.3.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import bonobo; Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "//usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/bonobo/__init__.py", line 6, in <module> import ORBit ImportError: No module named ORBit >>> Re-emerging dev-python/pyorbit worked around this problem and allowed orca to build successfully as well. I'll admit to a little puzzlement as to exactly why; presumably python-updater should have resolved this issue? Still, this worked for me. HTH
