During startup there is a message about a missing python-dbus. Querying rpm and yum tells me that nothing provides python-dbus and no such package exists. What do I need?
Hi Ann!
ann:/etc# yum search dbus-python
[snip]
============================= Matched: dbus-python
dbus-python.i386 : D-Bus Python Bindings ann:/etc# rpm -q dbus-python dbus-python-0.70-7.el5
Name switch! Confused me also!
Now how the blue blazes are we supposed to guess that? Oops -
Package dbus-python-0.70-7.el5.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do
Back to the drawing board, I guess. This business of getting a message that something is not installed when it *is* should *not* happen. I consider this a nasty bug as the error is *meaningless*. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is something is looking in /usr/lib/python and not /usr/lib/python2.4.
I've no idea what is looking for it. I'm inclined to ignore it until it gives me a problem I can identify. The only reason I was trying to fix it was for tidyness.
Thanks for trying to help.
