Description Pacho Ramos 2010-06-15 16:40:34 UTC 
As reported downstream at:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324143

hamster-applet requires pyxdg to prevent this startup failure:
raceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 222422

  • File "/usr/bin/hamster-standalone", line 33 in <module> 
    from hamster.configuration import conf, runtime, dialogs
  • File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/hamster/configuration.py", line 31 in <module> 
    from xdg.BaseDirectory import xdg_data_home
ImportError: No module named xdg.BaseDirectory 


$ grep -r xdg.BaseDirectory *
src/hamster/configuration.py:from xdg.BaseDirectory import xdg_data_home

Then, configure should have a check for it

Thanks a lot

configure should only check for build-time deps, not run-time ones.
