DetailsDescription: It seems that after the last change in the gnome-python PKGBUILD as it removes packages used in other programs.
I'm talking about this update that removes some uses packages from repository: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/gnome-python&id=a1bbc06ff0ee3ea379a51ed1da040580fff9d6a3 Examples of broken packages (AUR). Check latest comments: gsieve 0.2-2 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gsieve/ system-config-lvm 1.1.18-4 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/system-config-lvm/ Installing system-config-lvm and running crashes it: ``` $ system-config-lvm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/system-config-lvm", line 50, in <module> import gnome ImportError: No module named gnome ``` I would like to know if there is any reason to remove those packages, and if there is a replacement for those programs that broke with their removal. |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
