Bug#817039: volti: Fails to start due to incorrect python-dbus version check
Package: volti
Version: 0.2.3-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
The python-dbus version check on line 27 of /usr/lib/volti/volti.run is
incorrect due to recent changes to how the version of python-dbus is stored.
> assert dbus.version >= (0, 80, 0)
Alternatively, as the version of python-dbus is managed by Debian, this check
is redundant and the line could be removed.
This failed assersion makes the main "volti" command fail on startup rendering
the main part of the package, the systray icon, unusable.
I'd propose a patch, however I don't know enough Python to be certain that
it'd be correct. That said this should be rapidly fixable by anyone fluent in
Python.
Thanks,
Julian Calaby
