obviously /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/dbus.py is missing, how did you get it?

[Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2004-09-18 10:30:51 UTC]

do you have dbus emerged?

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2004-09-18 12:52:03 UTC]

@stefan : you have to build dbus with python support.. hal-device-manager is not meant as a user tool, at this point i see no reason to force deps for it. Anyway it's not the same problem as the one reported, please try to keep different problems in different bugs.

@initial reporter : im not sure what the patch is supposed to fix ? Does it run with that patch applied ?

[Comment 4 Young-Ho Cha 2004-09-18 23:42:44 UTC]

i copied that patch from current hal cvs. after apply that patch,  it can run.

	* tools/device-manager/DeviceManager.py: Don't print out Conditions;
	should give us more headroom until D-BUS is fixed wrt. rules maximum
	and subscription of signals in the python bindings

[Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) 2004-09-19 04:14:14 UTC]

right, i read about that. Well, i'm not gonna fix that in the ebuild... we're waiting for a new snapshot anyway.
