Description Lars Grunewaldt 2005-01-15 07:12:38 UTC

I think I emerged a new version of python. After that, my startbar stopped working. I tried anything (re-emerged desklet-core and stuff) when I finally found out that somehow the xdg stuff must have got broken.

pyxdg-0.5 was still installed, but not available in python any more.

I don't know if this is a gentoo problem or not, and can be addressed by portage somehow. But I wanted to notify someone at least :)

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
would be hard to reproduce because the problems started with emerging a new python version.

Lars: Did you run `/usr/sbin/python-updater` as the python post-install message told you? If you did, provide `emerge info` please, otherwise I guess this bug is invalid.

Comment 2 Lars Grunewaldt 2005-01-15 16:37:54 UTC

I'm pretty sure I did not, I did not even realize that python was updated in the first place (was a dependendy).

I'll mark this invalid because of RTFM, then :)

Of course this ebuild behaviour is not nice, but this is a general problem, as many ebuilds show messages like this that can very easily be missed when updating >200 packages for emerge -u world or something.

thanks, anyway, script is running and re-installing packages right now.
