Description Nadav Samet 2004-01-30 03:04:06 UTC
I upgraded to python 2.3. Then fluxspace refused to work. It outputs the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fluxspace", line 15, in ?
    import fluxspace
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/fluxspace.py", line 4, in ?
    import _fluxspace
ImportError: No module named _fluxspace

I re-emerged fluxspace and still got the same error. I've noticed the following weirdness (_fluxspace.so is symlinked into the sandbox):

root@nadav / # ls -la /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/_fluxspace.so 
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           72 Jan 30 12:48 /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/_fluxspace.so -> /var/tmp/portage/fluxspace-0.0.3-r1/image//usr/lib/libfluxspace-0.0.3.so


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade python
2. Reemerge fluxspace
3. Examine the above link

Yeah I had an issue with that before.  Humor me and test out the 0.4.0_alpha fluxspace ebuild.  The error is corrected in that ebuild.

I cannot reproduce this at all with either versions.
