I was wrong. The message is caused by a bug in gobject-introspection which fails to make the g_bytes_get_data method available to Python. The bug occurs in Fedora 18, and is gone in Fedora 20. Workaround is a ​patch to use unref_to_array instead of get_data, but this won't work on later versions of gobject-introspection. http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/y/1YcSik.txt With the switch to microformat backend, and this patch, the updater works now. It has offered TurtleBlocks and Pippy updates. The change in gobject-introspection which fixes it is in gir/glib-2.0.c in the g_bytes_* sections. Being tracked at http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12878 p.s. the ASLO backend also has a bug were it will stall the update under certain conditions. The underlying cause is that __downloader_complete_cb may return without emitting the check-complete signal. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
