Testing yumex - warnings and errors - devel

11 Jan 2006


      Tried yumex from testing on a three machines.  Installs OK but generates
pages of warnings.  The unique ones are:
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `angle' for class `GtkLabel'
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `ellipsize' for class `GtkLabel'
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `ellipsize' for class `GtkProgressBar'
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `focus_on_map' for class `GtkDialog'
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `focus_on_map' for class `GtkWindow'
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `hover_expand' for class `GtkTreeView'
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `hover_selection' for class `GtkTreeView'
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `single_line_mode' for class `GtkLabel'
(yumex.pyc:8494): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `width_chars' for class `GtkLabel'
At run-time, finds packages to update and does so successfully, but then
pops up a request window with a light bulb and options "OK" and
"Cancel".  Clicking either does nothing but the box can be closed by
clicking the "x" in the top-right corner.  The application is still
alive and can be exited cleanly from the "File" menu.
Output from the window follows:
Mirrordetection : best

The Help/About window shows similar button behavior - "Close" has no
effect but window can be closed by "x".
Can't find an existing entry at bugs.centos.org.  Could create one, but
perhaps the packager should initiate it.
