Bug Description

Binary package hint: democracyplayer

The following error messages, which I get when starting democracyplayer under feisty, seem somewhat self explanatory.

/usr/bin/democracyplayer:81: DeprecationWarning: The dbus_bindings module is deprecated and will go away soon.

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
<email address hidden>.

  import dbus_bindings
