[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#483778: python-dbus: Can't create working dbus object with python2.5

[Guido Diepen]

Package: python-dbus
Version: 0.82.4-2
Severity: normal

The file example-service.py provided by the python-dbus-doc(0.82.4-2)
package can be started with:

python2.5 example-service.py

but queries to this service will fail after a time-out. For example,
running d-feet or qdbusviewer to inspect the objects in this service fail with the
following error:
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on com.example.SampleService:/:
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did
not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did
not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

When the example-service.py is started with python2.4, there are no
problems:

python2.4 example-service.py

It starts without a problem and the service provided by this
example-program can be listed/queried and executed via qdbusviewer and
d-feet.
