[karmic] syncdaemon can't find python-configglue

jorge@bojack:~/$ ubuntuone-syncdaemon --debug
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ubuntuone-syncdaemon", line 36, in <module>
    from configglue import configglue
ImportError: No module named configglue

I updated to the beta PPA and tried to launch the daemon. I have python-configglue installed from the PPA but the daemon can't seem to find it.

I've confirmed that both jaunty and karmic versions of python-configglue are present on the BETA PPA, and that it's declared in the dependencies for the package. I'm not sure what else could be going on here. I'm not seeing this problem on my test machiens, (all Jaunty at the moment).

Lucio, who can figure this out easiest?

configglue is being installed to /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ whereas all other python modules are in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages.

Should this make a difference? configglue is the only one in site-packages on my Karmic install...

Doing (an admittedly bad idea):
cp -R /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/configglue* /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
allows it to be found.

Hi,

From the build log:

dh_pycentral -ppython-configglue
pycentral: pycentral debhelper: missing XB-Python-Version attribute in package python-configglue

so pycentral isn't acting on the package, so you're not getting a proper
python package.

Thanks,

James

THANK YOU!

I flubbed rebuilding the control files when I rebuilt that last version. Fixed and the new package for Karmic is on its way. This also explains why this was happening for Karmic and not Jaunty (as I did not rebuild the Jaunty package)
