Description francisco jurado 2005-10-18 23:13:09 UTC

when running the stable branch, gdesklets worked fine. After moving to the
testing branch, when i tried to run the gdesklets deamon i had this python error:

Fatal Python error: could not import ORBit module

and then aborted. 

i checked in /etc/env.d/05portage.envd and PYTHONPATH was set to
"/usr/lib/portage/pym" where there is no ORBit module, that module is in
"/usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages" so i changed the variable to that path, now
the gdeskeslets daemon works just fine. (I saw that in a forum).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.runing gdesklets
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
gdesklets daemon aborted.

Expected Results:  
run the application

i checked in /etc/env.d/05portage.envd and PYTHONPATH was set to
"/usr/lib/portage/pym" where there is no ORBit module, that module is in
"/usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages" so i changed PYTHONPATH to that path, now
the gdeskeslets daemon works just fine. (I saw that in a forum).

You neglected to post emerge --info output.
