startup warning (gtksourceview / modeline plugin: python error)

[Andreas Mohr]

Hello,

yet another of my Dapper bugs (now 6 or so):

gedit seems to work IIRC, but displays the following:

$ gedit
ImportError: could not import gtksourceview
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins/modelines.py", line 24, in ?
    class ModelinePlugin(gedit.Plugin):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Plugin'

** (gedit:4300): WARNING **: Could not load python module modelines

** (gedit:4300): CRITICAL **: gedit_plugin_update_ui: assertion `GEDIT_IS_PLUGI

** (gedit:4300): CRITICAL **: gedit_plugin_update_ui: assertion `GEDIT_IS_PLUGI

** (gedit:4300): CRITICAL **: gedit_plugin_update_ui: assertion `GEDIT_IS_PLUGI

Dapper Flight 6, current as of last Sunday

gedit 2.14.1-0ubuntu1
gedit-common 2.14.1-0ubuntu1
python2.4 2.4.2-1ubuntu3
libgtksourceview1.0-0 1.6.0-0ubuntu1

NOTE that this is an ex-Knoppix ex-Debian ex-Breezy now-Dapper system (ooooh the pain!!), so it might actually be something not properly handled by the upgrade mechanisms...

Thanks!

Thanks for your bug report. Does ist work if you once you install python-gnome2-desktop? If so, we should maybe add it not as a Dependency but as a Recommends or something.

[Andreas Mohr (andi)]

Indeed, installing python-gnome2-desktop (which then installs the current-version package fixes the warning messages. Removing the relevant python2.4-gnome2-desktop package lets it appear again.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

will add a Recommends for next upload.
