Package: elisa Version: 0.3.5-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
When I start up Elisa, I get a mangled display and a bunch of Python stacktraces (quoted below). I reported these to the upstream support forums at http://elisa.fluendo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=1831 and was told, in so many words, that Elisa does not yet support Twisted 8 and they would be grateful for patches. As the only version of Twisted available in testing or unstable is 8.0.1, this effectively renders the package unusable. I may try to come up with patches but I don't know anything about Twisted or elisa's internals. --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twisted/internet/gtk2reactor.py", line 226, in simulate self.runUntilCurrent() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twisted/internet/base.py", line 698, in runUntilCurrent call.func(*call.args, **call.kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twisted/internet/task.py", line 251, in _tick result = iterator.next() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elisa/core/manager.py", line 109, in load_providers_iter provider_name) --- <exception caught here> --- File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 105, in maybeDeferred result = f(*args, **kw) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elisa/core/plugin_registry.py", line 546, in create_component res = component.initialize() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elisa/plugins/gstreamer_plugin/gst_metadata.py", line 1391, in initialize dfr = self.launcher.startProcess() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elisa/plugins/gstreamer_plugin/gst_metadata.py", line 1289, in startProcess protocol = self.buildProtocol(None) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elisa/plugins/gstreamer_plugin/gst_metadata.py", line 1252, in buildProtocol protocol = pb.PBClientFactory.buildProtocol(self, addr) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/twisted/spread/pb.py", line 1056, in buildProtocol p = self.protocol(isClient=True, security=self.security) exceptions.TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'security' <type 'exceptions.TypeError'> Python 2.5.2: /usr/bin/python Fri May 16 13:55:07 2008 A problem occurred in a Python script.
