[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#374726: [python2.4-dbus] Missing dependency on dbus

[Jason Spiro]

Package: python2.4-dbus
Version: 0.61-6
Severity: important

I believe python2.4-dbus should depend on dbus. It currently only
depends on libdbus-1-2, the client component, but not on dbus.
python2.3-dbus, which seems to only be in sarge, is better in this
regard; it depends on dbus (actually, the old package dbus-1).

I found this out when I tried to install smart-notifier, which depends
on python2.4-dbus. It did not pull in dbus. Instead, smart-notifier
bombed on me when I tried to start it:

spiro at amd:~/r$ Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smart-notifier", line 11, in ?
    import smart_notifier.gui
  File "/usr/share/smart-notifier/smart_notifier/__init__.py", line 28, in ?
    BUS = dbus.SystemBus()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 260, in __new__
    return Bus.__new__(cls, Bus.TYPE_SYSTEM, use_default_mainloop, private)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 99, in __new__
    bus._connection = dbus_bindings.bus_get(bus_type, private)
  File "dbus_bindings.pyx", line 1695, in dbus_bindings.bus_get
dbus_bindings.DBusException: Failed to connect to socket
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
[1]+  Exit 1                  smart-notifier

I am on etch, but I checked and the issue seems to affect sid as well.
My last dist-upgrade was about a month ago. Apart from this minor
niggle, thank you for all the work you put into Debian.

Kind regards,
Jason
