Bittorrent (which used to work fine) fails to start on my system. See "Actual Results" for errors. I've reinstalled bittorrent, wxpython and wxGTK without difficulty and it still generates the error. In "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages" I have a wx.pth file which is a symlink to wx.pth-2.8 which contains wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode. "python --version" yields "Python 2.6.5". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. bittorrent Actual Results: Errors are: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/BTL/hash.py:5: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha as shalib Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 183, in <module> from BitTorrent.GUI_wx.DownloadManager import MainLoop File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/BitTorrent/GUI_wx/__init__.py", line 29, in <module> import wx ImportError: No module named wx Expected Results: Bittorrent should startup and produce a window as it normally would.

Going back to Bug #208894, Comment #6: eselect wxwidgets set gtk2-unicode-release-2.6 Modify /etc/portage/package.mask: >=dev-python/wxpython-2.8 then emerge wxpython seems to fix bittorrent. I think this is an ebuild problem in that bittorrent would emerge fine with wxpython-2.8 installed. The ebuild seems to require wxpython-2.6 but there doesn't seem to be anything to prevent one from upgrading to wxpython-2.8 and in the process breaking bittorrent. Do the wxpython-2.8 ebuilds need to check to see if bittorrent is installed and warn that upgrading wxpython will break bittorrent?

We're dropping 5.x. This shouldn't be a problem with 4.4.0.
