0.7.0 beta bug: Hide irrelevant cleaners doesn't work

[Daniel Riedemann]

Arch Linux, KDE 4.3.2, Kernel 2.6.31.4, Python 2.6.3
###

Hiding irrelevant cleaners doesn't work anymore. It just hides rpmbuild for me, but nothing else I haven't installed. For example: apt, yum, vuze, virt-manager, skype, second life, ... and many others.

The following output I get on the console if I click on the hide cleaners checkbox:

warning: exception '[Errno 2] No such file or directory' running 'rpm --eval %_topdir'
info: automatically hiding cleaner 'rpmbuild'

And nothing more :-(

When I start bleachbit as root I get the following:
info: automatically hiding cleaner 'firefox'
info: automatically hiding cleaner 'openofficeorg'
warning: exception '[Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden' running 'rpm --eval %_topdir'
info: automatically hiding cleaner 'rpmbuild'

That's ok because for firefox and openoffice I have no config/history/whatever files in /root
But again all other that should also go away don't work.

Maybe this is related to the make tests output from my other bug report?

##
Unit test for Cleaner.add_action() ... FAIL
test_auto_hide (__main__.TestCleaner) ... warning: exception '[Errno 2] No such file or directory' running 'rpm --eval %_topdir'

What does that rpm thing do? Arch Linux doesn't have rpm or dpkg, it has a own package manager called pacman. Maybe it's this? How does BleachBit find out which software is installed?

[Andrew Ziem (ahziem1)]

The RPM error is harmless, but the add_action() FAIL is bad. (I'll check in detail later.)

If RPM, YUM APT is missing, then BleachBit ignores it and hides it. I tested this with Fedora (RPM/YUM) and Ubuntu (APT).

Confirmed only under Arch Linux

Fixed in SVN commit 1333

Thank you, works like a charm now.
