Package: democracyplayer
Version: 0.9.6-1
Severity: important


I am not sure if that is a democracyplayer or a
libboost-python1.34.0 or someone elses bug.
Please reassign as needed.

This makes democracyplayer unusable on amd64.

I'm working on it. The reason for the bug is totally unclear to me,
though. Upstream doesn't know what causes it either, and doesn't know a
solution.

Also, this is not amd64 specific, the bug occurs everywhere.

I have _sort of_ managed to start democracyplayer now after switching to
Python 2.5 for builing it, _and_ rebuilding three or four python-related
packages to add Python 2.5 versions of the libs (they currently only
provide 2.4 versions). You need to rebuild at least python-gnome2,
xulrunner* (and esp. python-xpcom, and that needs a change in debian/rules),
python-gnome2-extras, maybe python-boost* and more.

Note that using democracyplayer still doesn't really work (quite likely
a python-xpcom problem):

  Could not import the Python XPCOM extension
  <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named xpcom._xpcom

But, at least it doesn't completely crash anymore now, i.e. the GUI
comes up and shows the channel guide, but you cannot subscribe to
channels or download movies, or view them.


This is really a mess. It'll take ages to change all those packages to
build/provide Python 2.5 versions. I'm trying to figure out a way to fix
the build while staying with Python 2.4, but I'm a bit lost...
Any help is appreciated.

FWIW, the message

  ImportError: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/democracy/database.so: undefined symbol: PyErr_WarnEx

still appears with my democracyplayer version which starts and runs
somewhat (Python 2.5 version), so maybe it's not really _that_ critical and
the reason for the problems is not related to the "PyErr_WarnEx" at all (?)

This may be related to this boost bug (not sure, though):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426871

Also, I'm in contact with the Ubuntu maintainer of democracyplayer, and
apparently they don't see this bug, presumably because they transitioned
to Python 2.5 (not sure if _all_ of Ubuntu or only democracyplayer is
meant here).


Thanks, Uwe.

What if boost_python is built with Python 2.4, like all other packages?

Indeed, a Python 2.4 boost (and the dbus patches) lead to a somewhat
working package, it seems.

There's hope that there'll be a 2.4 boost soon, see
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-boost-devel/2007-August/000997.html

I'll upload fixed democracyplayer packages ASAP then.


Uwe.

Closes: 387726 396898 418722 429407 429881 430659
Changes: 
 democracyplayer (0.9.6-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * The "Night of the Living Dead" release.
   * Fix critical python/dbus errors (Closes: #429881, #418722).
     Thanks Krzysztof Sobiecki <sobkas@gmail.com> for the patch!
   * Build-depend on libboost-python-dev (>= 1.34.1-2), as that version is
     now built with Python 2.4 again, which is currently needed to make
     Democracy Player work at all (Closes: #430659, #429407).
     Note that we _have_ to build democracyplayer with Python 2.4 at this
     point in time, as several of its dependencies are not yet available
     as Python 2.5 versions in Debian.
   * Build-depend on libxine-dev (>= 1.1.6-2), as starting with that version
     xine plays sound/music in *.flv flash files (Closes: #396898, #387726).
   * Drop 30_libboost_python.patch, no longer needed.
   * Add new required dependency: python-pysqlite2.
