I'm not sure why, but Launchpad hasn't automatically closed this bug. This should be fixed as of the latest uploaded version.

Is it because this is related to python-imdbpy and not python-clutter? I
created two separate bugs with identical bug titles, but they affected
different packages. The python-clutter one was marked Fixed Released
automatically.

[David Futcher (bobbo)]

Think I have worked it out. The python-imdbpy source package (which this bug is reported under) only exists in Dapper. The bug should have been reported under the imdbpy source package, which builds the binary package python-imdbpy. Therefore I have fixed this (I uploaded a fixed imdbpy sourcepackage), so will mark it as fixed. Please try to see if you can replicate this bug on a fully updated Jaunty to make sure I haven't messed anything up here.

I have attempted to replicate the bug on an up-to-date Jaunty machine and I can confirm that it is no longer an issue. On behalf of the Entertainer Media Center developers, thanks for fixing this.
