Details

Pypanel will not start without python2-xlib being installed. Current pypanel dependencies are shown as:

depends=('python2' 'x-server' 'python-xlib' 'imlib2' 'libxft')


Packaged version broken is: 2.4-7 (probably applies to 32-bit and 64-bit packages)


To reproduce issue, attempt to start pypanel from command line or .xinitrc and the following error is thrown:

$ pypanel
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 893, in <module>
from Xlib import X, display, error, Xatom, Xutil
ImportError: No module named Xlib
[bob@compuser ~]$ pypanel
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pypanel", line 893, in <module>
from Xlib import X, display, error, Xatom, Xutil
ImportError: No module named Xlib


Installing python2-xlib allows pypanel to start properly again. Removing python2-xlib creates a non-starting pypanel.
This task depends upon

Just wanted to add that after posting the above, I noticed where python-xlib and python2-xlib were both updated by the maintainer yesterday, but don't know if either of those updates caused pypanel to stop working. It had been starting and working fine previously. Thanks...
