Bug#188936: linuxconf: v1.26r4-2.1 gives error message from 'remadmin'

[agcosta@gis.net]

Package: linuxconf
Version: 1.26r4-2.1
Severity: important


'linuxconf' used to work for me, but running it now shows:
                                                                                
    #linuxconf
    Module pythonmod does not exist
    Error message from remadmin :/bin/remadmin: 36: Syntax error: Bad fd number
                                                                                
Then nothing, it doesn't close.  I have to do <Ctrl-C> to get the command
prompt back.
                                                                                
Looking at the code of '/bin/remadmin', (a shell script), line 36 is:
"echo No suitable linuxconf front-end installed".
                                                                                
Hope this helps...
