Package: freeloader
Version: 0.3-3
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Running "freeloader" results in the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/freeloader", line 42, in ?
import gnomevfs
ImportError: No module named gnomevfs
I guessed that the gnome.vfs module in the stable version of
python2.3-gnome2 might be an earlier version of gnomevfs, so I tried
replacing this line with:
try:
import gnomevfs
except ImportError:
import gnome.vfs as gnomevfs
After this change, it was possible to start the program, open dialogs,
and beging downloading files. However, after a download is finished,
it shows the error message:
Exception in thread Thread-2:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap
self.run()
File "/usr/share/freeloader/webdl.py", line 111, in run
self.completed()
File "/usr/share/freeloader/genericdl.py", line 162, in completed
iname = gnome.ui.icon_lookup(theme, fact,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'icon_lookup'
and then becomes unresponsive; I had to send it a SIGTERM to kill it.
Looking at the source, I can see why - it fails to release the Gdk
mutex if an exception occurs on this line! To avoid this sort of
problem, each use of gtk.gdk.threads_{enter,leave} in the program
should be replaced with something like "gdk_lock = GdkLock()" or "del
gdk_lock" respectively, where GdkLock is defined as something like:
class GdkLock:
def __init__(self):
gtk.gdk.threads_enter()
def __del__(self):
gtk.gdk.threads_leave()
With this second change, the program is barely functional, but
continues to print error messages that suggest to me it requires
a more recent version of python-gnome2 than that in sarge.
