Package: moosic
Version: 1.5.5-1
Severity: important
On my system, moosic now dies on launch, with the following output:
================
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/moosic", line 6, in <module>
main(sys.argv)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/moosic/client/cli/main.py", line 243,
in main
moosic.no_op()
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1199, in __call__
return self.__send(self.__name, args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1489, in __request
verbose=self.__verbose
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1237, in request
errcode, errmsg, headers = h.getreply()
AttributeError: HTTPConnection instance has no attribute 'getreply'
================
That error appears to be the result of a change which arose in Python
2.7. However, since moosic's shebang is "#!/usr/bin/python", and
python-minimal currently installs that as a symlink to 'python2.6', and
the Python libraries listed in the traceback are from python2.6, moosic
is apparently being run with Python 2.6; therefore this error should not
be appearing.
I have now seen this behavior on two different systems, both of which
track testing.
I first saw this error in moosicd, on a system where Python 2.7 was not
installed. Installing the python2.7 package made the error go away for
moosicd, but it still occurs for moosic itself.
If I explicitly launch moosic with python2.7, rather than relying on
the shebang, it runs fine.
This is very probably a bug in one or more of the Python packages, such
that the correct versions of the Python libraries are not always being
used. However, since I have no idea which package(s) are at fault, and
since the problem could be "fixed" by adding a dependency on python2.7
and changing the shebang line, I am reporting it here.
This problem could be worked around at the user end if the
'/usr/bin/python' symlink were handled by the alternatives system.
However, since it is instead installed explicitly by python-minimal,
that is not an advisable solution.
If there is anything I can do to help track down and resolve the
problem, please do not hesitate to let me know. I use moosic daily, and
having to jump through hoops to get it to be usable is exceedingly
inconvenient.
