Emerge Avahi fails, can't find python module gtk

Message

lostinlinux · Post by **lostinlinux** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 2:13 am

I am attempting to update my system and when I get to avahi I ma getting the following error. I thought this was referring to pygtk, but that is installed. I had python 2.5 installed, but have since removed it and am using python 2.4 ( not sure if this makes a difference, but figured the info can't hurt). Anyone know how to fix this?

Code: Select all

checking for python module gtk... no
configure: error: Could not find Python module gtk

You might want to run `python-updater -o 2.5`. This specific package is pygtk, and you'll probably run into others if you don't run python-updater.

Well I am running that now, but pygtk did not come up as one that needed to be rebuilt. It is instead building the following:

Code: Select all

=dev-python/dbus-python-0.82.4 =dev-python/gdata-1.0.8 =dev-python/pygobject-2.14.1 =dev-python/pyrex-0.9.6.4 =app-admin/gamin-0.1.9-r1 =gnome-extra/libgsf-1.14.7 =x11-libs/vte-0.16.13 =gnome-base/gnome-menus-2.22.1 =sys-apps/file-4.24

Will follow up with the results.

On an aside, I downgraded python in desperation trying to fix this issue I am experiencing with avahi, does gentoo work with 2.5 without problems?

lostinlinux · Post by **lostinlinux** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 10:52 am

so it looks like this did work. But again is there an issue with python 2.5 and gentoo or were my problems a result of something else?

dberkholz · Post by **dberkholz** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 5:16 pm

I haven't had any trouble with 2.5. You could run into trouble if you're trying to mix it into an otherwise stable system, though.

lostinlinux · Post by **lostinlinux** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 10:38 pm

I'd rather not mix and just replace. Is there a doc that details how to go about updating python?

I wasn't suggesting that. I was simply saying it's more likely that you will run into problems if you are doing that.

Is there a doc that details how to go about updating python?

Pretty much just read the info after you merge it...

hmm....well python-updater is bombing while trying to install some gnome packages..... any idea how to resolve this?

Code: Select all

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

The packages that are blocking aren't even installed. How can I resolve this?

You seem to have a strange mixture of gnome 2.20 and 2.22. You might want to finish upgrading to 2.22.

lostinlinux · Post by **lostinlinux** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 2:13 am

yeah I think I have done that with everything....but I must have missed something I performed an emerge-uDn gnome-light and everythign installed but I am still having the issue where control-center-2.22 (which isn't isntalled) is blocking gnome-settings-daemon is there a way to get a list of all gnome specific packages so I can make sure they are updated?

Yeah, emerge -va gnome...

lostinlinux · Post by **lostinlinux** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 10:19 am

I am actually using the gnome-light package, but for whatever reason when I emerge -vap gnome-light vs gnome I get different results. gnome-light complains that gdm is blockign gnome-session. gnome doesn't. both are attempting to install the same gnome-session so there looks like somethign screwed up with the gnome-light ebuild
