Package: python2.4-dbus Version: 0.61-6 Severity: important
I believe python2.4-dbus should depend on dbus. It currently only depends on libdbus-1-2, the client component, but not on dbus. python2.3-dbus, which seems to only be in sarge, is better in this regard; it depends on dbus (actually, the old package dbus-1). I found this out when I tried to install smart-notifier, which depends on python2.4-dbus. It did not pull in dbus. Instead, smart-notifier bombed on me when I tried to start it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/r$ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/smart-notifier", line 11, in ? import smart_notifier.gui File "/usr/share/smart-notifier/smart_notifier/__init__.py", line 28, in ?

My last dist-upgrade was about a month ago. Apart from this minor niggle, thank you for all the work you put into Debian.
