hi haf fix it:
you must install a older version like 4.0* and copy the /usr/share/pixmaps/tinyerp-client to (example) home directory.
remove your version 4.0*
after install the 4.2 version, you copy the tinyerp-client directory to the /usr/share/pixmaps/ !
thats it
sorry for my bad english ;)

i give the copy from the direktory to the attacment, so you dont need to install a older version, just copy to /usr/share/pixmaps/!
please unpack!

This fix does not seem to work on Hardy. What is actually broken in the package? Is it a faulty pixmap, is the location of the file incorrect (in my 4.2.0 installation there was no /usr/share/pixmap/tinyerp-client directory) or is it something else? I did copy the files did attached into that directory, but it makes no difference.

I also had a look as the source file /usr/lib/tinyerp-client/common/common.py (line 68), but I don't know the language well enough to figure out where the problem is.

Roland, you have to change group permission of tinyerp-client folder :
$sudo chmod o=+r /usr/share/pixmaps/tinyerp-client -R
