kde-guidance mountconfig has unneeded call to kdedesigner

[Scott Kitterman]

Binary package hint: kde-guidance

In mountconfig/fuser.py it imports kdedesigner, but never uses it. As a result, if pyqtconfig is not available, it will crash. To work around this problem, Kubuntu moved pyqtconfig from python-qt-dev to python-qt3. This causes packages that build depend on python-qt-dev, but not python-qt3 that need pyqtconfig to FTBFS (Eric is an example of this).

This is kde-guidance problem and the Py QT3 work around is known to affect python-kde3 and Eric. Packages that build-dep on python-kde3 in Kubuntu should be checked:

urces
gdebi
kde-guidance
update-manager
kde-hal-device-manager

This bug was fixed in the package kde-guidance - 0.8.0svn20080103-0ubuntu3

---------------
kde-guidance (0.8.0svn20080103-0ubuntu3) hardy; urgency=low

  * Add Add kubuntu_09_mountconfig_no_extensions.patch to remove uneeded call
    to pykdeextensions in mountconfig so that pyqt3 no longer needs to be
    patched to provide -dev files in the regular package (LP: #197867)
  * Add kubuntu_10_displayconfig_tryagain.patch so that if displayconfig
    thinks a proprietary driver is installed, but it can't find it, it
    will try to find a non-proprietary driver instead of crashing (LP: #198269)
  * Add kubuntu_11_wineconfg_amd64.patch so that wineconfig looks in the right
    dir for wine on AMD64 (LP: #151982) - Patch should be removed for the next
    svn snapshot or release as a fix has been committed upstream already
  * Add kubuntu_12_powermanager_survive_no_brightness.patch so that if the old
    brightness cannot be gotten from DBUS, powermanager won't crash
    (LP: #183656) and (LP: #198071)
  * Add kununtu_13_displayconfig_add_new_monitors.patch to update MonitorsDB
    with a upstream snapshot of MonitorsDB from hwdata (LP: #192899)
