Package: music-applet
Version: 2.4.2-1

Hi,

in music-applet, the fix-python-plugins-dir.diff patch looks for plugins
in the python-support private directory.

This has two consequences:
      * The plugins are accessed from there instead of the place where
        they are installed; it is likely that .pyc files will be
        generated incorrectly because of that, and the package will fail
        to uninstall properly.
      * The package will stop working with the upcoming version of
        python-support (currently in experimental), since the files will
        be moved to a different directory.

For a more portable solution, I suggest to use e.g. __file__ :
        os.path.join (os.path.dirname(__file__), "musicapplet/plugins")

As a general rule, please do not rely on the internals of python-support
in the packaging; this will avoid such issues in the future (although
hopefully there won’t be a need to change the paths any further).

Thanks,
