At last, I finally got around to poking around a little more. $ for f in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/misc/* ; do if [ -L $f ] ; then dpkg -S "`readlink "$f"`" ; fi ; done python-coherence: /usr/share/pyshared/misc/media_server_observer.py python-coherence: /usr/share/pyshared/misc/upnp-tester.py
The app I had that needed python-coherence was not something I used, so I removed it and python-coherence, and then pyracerz ran just fine (though the cars did go slow enough that I wondered if the game was running full speed.) Also I played around with python and found that (in both python2.5 and python 2.6) these commands you sent: >>> import misc >>> misc.__file__ >>> import sys >>> sys.path.append("/usr/share/games/pyracerz/modules") >>> import misc >>> misc.__file__ >>> sys.path.insert(0,"/usr/share/games/pyracerz/modules") >>> import misc >>> misc.__file__ and found that misc.__file__ only showed pyracerz if "import misc" was not called until after the sys.path.insert() With that knowledge in hand, I re-installed python-coherence (and got the usual error when starting pyracerz. Then I edited /usr/games/pyracerz, and replaced the "sys.path.append(" at the top with "sys.path.insert(0, " and then pyracerz ran again. Though it did print this as it started up: /usr/share/games/pyracerz/modules/misc.py:26: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pygame/pkgdata.py:26: UserWarning: Module misc was already imported from /usr/share/games/pyracerz/modules/misc.pyc, but /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6 is being added to sys.path from pkg_resources import resource_stream, resource_exists Take care, - Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
