Bug#746378: Twisted Python breaks Flumotion

[Jeff Sereno]

Twisted Python no longer has "listenWith" in it. Until Flumotion is 
updated to not use this function, you need to downgrade to to Twisted 
Python 11.1.0.

Probably the same as it is on Ubuntu, but I got it running by 
downgrading the following packages:

python-twisted-bin
python-twisted-core
python-twisted-web

Install Flumotion as normal then force the uninstallation of the above 
packages using dpkg (which will temporarily break dependencies) and then 
reinstall the older debs using dpkg. For Ubuntu, I got the debs from the 
12.04 repository here:

http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/twisted/python-twisted-bin_11.1.0-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/twisted/python-twisted-core_11.1.0-1ubuntu2_all.deb
http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/twisted-web/python-twisted-web_11.1.0-1_all.deb

Note however that while Flumotion now runs, this appears to disrupt the 
Flumotion UI somewhat and you might not be able to use the Flumotion 
Assistant (some fields for entering data like framerate are missing and 
cause the config to go belly-up), but you should be able to get around 
that by generating the XML config file elsewhere and then importing that 
into Flumotion via the Admin UI. I'm still testing this under Ubuntu 14.04.

This of course may break things elsewhere that depend on Twisted Python too.

Cheers,

Jeff.
