[arch-general] problem with guidance power manager
Hello , I don't know where to put this but since it has cause a concerning problem, I am putting up a mailing list post for archives. Desparately in search for KDE4 laptop suspend, today I landed with guidance- package-manager. It pulled python-2.6 along with dbus-python, sip and pyqt (which is ok). Problem began when every other program including guidance-power-manager itself and mercurial(my bread-and-butter for development) started crying about missing libpython2.5.so.1.0. I had to chuck out dbus-python, sip,pyqt and guidance-power-manager and "upgrade" to python 2.5 from /var/cache/pacman/pkg to get sanity back. I think python 2.6 package has problem but am not sure. Any comments? -- Shridhar

guidance-power-manager and mercurial were rebuilt for the latest python. Check you have got the latest version from the repos. If you have file a bug report with all details (versions, arch, error message, etc). Allan

True. pacman -Syu does show mercurial and python scheduled for upgrade. May be I should try it after I upgraded the system then. There are 20 packages that depends upon python but not all of them are being upgraded. Could something break in here? I could post the package listing if required. -- Shridhar

Not all packages need rebuilt for the latest python. However, some in [community] still need a rebuild. If you have already upgraded python, you should have updated all the packages that were rebuilt for it too. File bug reports for things that stop working only once you system is fully up to date.

Try to rename or remove /usr/lib/python2.5 directory. I've solved so. -- Arch Linux Developer (voidnull) AUR & Pacman Italian Translations Microdia Developer http://www.archlinux.it

I did a pacman -Syu, installed over 650MB of updates, including new OOo and kde4.1.3, and then I could install guidance-power-manager without problem. But it didn't do anything. I have uninstalled it. I am not playing with powerdevil. Compiled and installed, no packages yet. It needs automoc4 package and /usr//bin in front of path, to find qt4 qmake. Now I am trying to make it work. And KDE4.1.3 rocks. It is FAST compared to 4.1.2. I am loving this upgrade. -- Shridhar
