[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#567135: went missing from python-support directory on upgrade

[Joey Hess]

Package: python-dbus
Version: 0.83.0-1+b1
Severity: normal

I upgraded from 0.83.0-1 last night. This morning I rebooted
and noticed wicd was not working; python could not load the dbus
module.

Seemed python-support had somehow not registered it:

joey at gnu:/var/lib/python-support>find py* | grep -i dbus
python2.4/wicd/dbusmanager.py
python2.4/wicd/dbusmanager.pyc

I purged, reinstalled, and dbus directories showed up there, problem solved.

NB: This laptop was just converted to btrfs (via fresh format and copying
over the previous content), so it's possible btrfs is eating data. It seems
unlikely to me that it would choose to just eat all the python support files
for python-dbus, for both python 2.5 and python 2.6, and leave other files
that were modified at the same time alone, though.
