Bug Description

Binary package hint: pypanel

After installing the package i wondered why i was not able to start the panel. It seemed that the binary which starts the application was not found in the path. After doing a "dpkg -L pypanel" my assumption has come true. The package lacks the binary in "/usr/bin".

firyar@rohan:~$ dpkg -L pypanel
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/share
/usr/share/pypanel

I attached a patch which should fix this issue.
Since the fix is already in feisty and it is a regression (worked in dapper), is it suitable for a SRU ?

Changed in pypanel:

I forgot to say: the version affected is edgy.

Hi,

the package in general is suitable for an SRU.

However your patch looks a little bit strange: Why do you need to change the python-path?

Also would be good to:
- commit a complete debdiff for reviewing
- set yourself as assignee for the bug

Cheers,
    Stefan.

This patch was a workaround for a bug of python-xlib[1]. If the python-xlib issue is fixed, rebuilding pypanel should be enough.

Hi,

please note the changed SRU-policy for universe, which basically states that you can upload to -proposed without needing acks from motu-sru.

Cheers,
    Stefan.

Lionel, are you going to submit a debdiff? If so, please go ahead and manage the upload.

Edgy will reach End Of Life status on April 26, so there is no time to release this SRU this in time.
