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?

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.

Hi Anne, hplip claims to need it: [roger@rwells-rh ~]$ sudo hp-check warning: python-dbus not installed.
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.9.2) Dependency/Version Check Utility ver. 14.1
and even though it is installed: [roger@rwells-rh ~]$ sudo yum install dbus-python Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Package dbus-python-0.70-7.el5.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do
hplip won't run because it thinks it isn't
recall our thread on this a while back. Sorry to beat a dead horse. roger
Thanks for trying to help.
