It is caused by the fact that pygtk < 0.6.11 and pygtk2 are not parallel installable. With PyGTK-2 and PyGTK-0.x installed and using the same version of Python, the applications that required PyGTK-0.x would stop working. This happened because Python would import PyGTK-2 preferentially, and the names of the modules are the same: 'gtk'. This issue has been resolved in pygtk=0.6.11 which is currently in cooker and will be avaiable in 9.2. You could dl and rebuild the src rpm from cooker but that will also entail rebuilding all currently installed pkgs which require gtk.

[expert] What's the deal with this?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 There is an app available called "Pyblink" that makes it possible to use pybliographic with OpenOffice. It is a bit of a hack but if you use references in your writing, it is possible to get past the loser reference manager in OO/SO and use pybliographic instead. Pybliographic is intended to work with Lyx. Anyway, unfortunately, it is not an easy thing to simply install and run Pyblink (http://www.sonnet.dk/pyblink/). It requires: Python2, pygtk2, and pypygtk2-libglade. I have each except pygtk2-libglade installed. I did "urpmi pygtk2-libglade" and get this: The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded: dia-0.90-5mdk (due to missing pygtk) draksync-9.0-2mdk (due to missing pygtk) pybliographer-1.0.11-7mdk (due to unsatisfied pygnome >= 1.4.0) pygnome-1.4.4-1mdk (due to unsatisfied pygtk == 0.6.9) pygnome-capplet-1.4.4-1mdk (due to unsatisfied pygnome == 1.4.4) pygtk-0.6.9-6mdk (due to conflicts with pygtk[< 0.6.11]) do you agree ? (Y/n) Absolutely NOT! There will be no removals here, just UPGRADES. I don't get it. For one thing, pybliographer works perfectly yet urpmi wants to remove it simply because I want to install pygtk2-libglade?! NO! Pybliographer is one of the most important apps on the system. In any case, why does urpmi give a damn about the others (which don't have any problems with pygtk2-libglade, per se, but with other files which are installed. For instance: pybliographer-1.0.11-7mdk (due to unsatisfied pygnome >= 1.4.0) pygnome-1.4.4-1mdk (due to unsatisfied pygtk == 0.6.9) pygnome-capplet-1.4.4-1mdk (due to unsatisfied pygnome == 1.4.4) See what this is saying? pygnome-1.4.4 IS installed but urpmi wants to remove pybliographer because its pygnome-1.4.4 dependency isn't met? Same for the rest in that list. Is this indicating that urpmi is broken and that I will be forced to use rpm to force pygtk2-libglade onto my system that way? At least rpm wont idiotically remove (rather than upgrade) other apps to do it. Anyone have words of wisdom to impart before I proceed? - -- "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

Pybliographic is intended > to work with Lyx. [...] Well, the point is moot at this time, it seems. Pyblink is written to work with Redhat (it seems) so it is setup for Redhat quirks and wont work properly with Mandrake. If there are any python wizards in the list, perhaps they could alter pyblink to work with Mandrake? The problem is that it looks for several modules and fails to find them, presumably, because of the way Redhat handles python. Pyblink tries to import gtk.glade and several other modules but fails to find them (presumably merely a problem with naming). I would like to any python wizards here to take a look at pyblink and determine what tweaks are required to get it working in Mandrake. Pyblink can act as a stopgap measure to allow for pybliographic to provide OpenOffice a function somewhat akin to Word with EndNote, allowing for the simple addition of citations to OO docs via pybliographic. Right now, the only way to do this in linux is to use Lyx (which is what pybliographic is designed to work with). What would REALLY be great is to see a pyblink rpm for Mandrake produced (hint-hint) and added to the MandrakeClub files for download. praedor - -- "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
