deskbar plugin not working

[Thomas]

Binary package hint: deskbar-plugins-strigi

The plugin for the deskbar does not work. In the deskbar preferences dialog is no word of a strigi plugin.
In the search results there is no result of the indexed files.

[Marat (mer-29)]

A strigi plugin for deskbar may be tested by command:
python /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/strigi.py filename
So, when I run this command in terminal I see:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/strigi.py", line 34, in <module>
    from deskbar.Handler import Handler
ImportError: No module named Handler

So, as I understood, this plugin is uncompatible with current version of deskbar, because it uses new syntax for plugins.

According to <http://<email address hidden>/msg54614.html>, a similar plugin exists for another desktop search program, pinot, and the deskbar plugin for it that imported Handler stopped working with deskbar-applet 2.20, so until strigi's deskbar plugin is fixed, its package should be changed to rely on deskbar-applet < 2.20.
