Bug 339609 – x11-misc/service-discovery-applet-0.4.3-r1: imports nonexistent python module

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexander E. Patrakov 2010-10-03 16:50:09 UTC]

x11-misc/service-discovery-applet-0.4.3-r1 installs the /usr/bin/service-discovery-config script. This script attempts to do this:

from avahi.SimpleGladeApp import SimpleGladeApp

however, avahi.SimpleGladeApp refers to a python module that doesn't exist.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run service-discovery-config either from command line or by attempting to set preferences for the applet
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
A preferences dialog should appear

The package hasn't changed from 2006 era, doesn't work (finds no services, even though it should find at least ones provided by my own host). May be a candidate for treecleaning.
