Description James Rowe 2010-10-27 03:08:27 UTC

arandr's setup.py makes use of subprocess.check_call() in build_trans.run().  
check_call() wasn't added to subprocess until Python v2.5.

Possible fixes include patching setup.py to use call() or just dropping 2.4 
support in the ebuild.

Thanks,

James

Reproducible: Always

+  27 Oct 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> arandr-0.1.3.ebuild:
+  Fix python depend to >= 2.5 wrt #342865 by James Rowe.

2.4 is not even security supported by upstream, I'd recommend swiftly unemerging it
