Bug Description

Binary package hint: democracyplayer

I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 beta and the democracyplayer version 0.9.2.1-2.1ubuntu1.

When I try to open Democracy, in the terminal, this error is returned:
"""
joaoolavo@note:~$ democracyplayer

dbus-python 0.80 provides only a partial emulation of the old
dbus_bindings, which was never meant to be public API.

Most uses of dbus_bindings are applications catching the exception
dbus.dbus_bindings.DBusException. You should use dbus.DBusException
instead (this is compatible with all dbus-python versions since 0.40.2).

If you need additional public API, please contact the maintainers via
