Description Sascha Lucas 2015-10-04 09:53:39 UTC 
Hi,

app-text/bibus fails to start, because it assumes to find bibus.cfg in the path where the bibus executable is:

$ bibus 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/bibus", line 28, in <module>
    python = cp.get('PATH','python')
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 607, in get
    raise NoSectionError(section)
ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'PATH'

Looking into /usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/bibus, one can see, that it handles symlinks. So one solution for this bug could be to symlink into the python site dir: /usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/bibus -> /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bibus/bibus.

After symlinking bibus starts "more" but hits bug #485396:

$ bibus 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bibus/bibus.py", line 232, in <module>
    bibframe1 = BibFrame.BibFrame(None, -1, BIB.TITLE, name=APPNAME)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bibus/BibFrame.py", line 31, in __init__
    self.__loadConnectionModule()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bibus/BibFrame.py", line 1432, in __loadConnectionModule
    import OOo
  File "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/uno.py", line 269, in _uno_import
    return _g_delegatee( name, *optargs, **kwargs )
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bibus/OOo.py", line 54, in <module>
    from bibOOo.bibOOoPlus import *
  File "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/uno.py", line 269, in _uno_import
    return _g_delegatee( name, *optargs, **kwargs )
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bibus/bibOOo/bibOOoPlus.py", line 22, in <module>
    from bibOOo.bibOOoBase import *
  File "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/uno.py", line 269, in _uno_import
    return _g_delegatee( name, *optargs, **kwargs )
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bibus/bibOOo/bibOOoBase.py", line 45, in <module>
    DIRECT_VALUE = uno.getConstantByName("com.sun.star.beans.PropertyState.DIRECT_VALUE")
  File "/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/uno.py", line 52, in getConstantByName
    return pyuno.getConstantByName( constant )
uno.RuntimeException: pyuno.getConstantByName: com.sun.star.beans.PropertyState.DIRECT_VALUEis not a constant

Downloading the proposed "patch" makes bibus working again:

$ wget http://sourceforge.net/p/bibus-biblio/patches/33/attachment/bibOOoBase.py -O /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bibus/bibOOo/bibOOoBase.py

Thanks, Sascha.
