Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adesklets

Hello,

1. i compiled adesklets-0.6.1 from source on a Fedora 8 x86_64.
2. normal configuration/installation was just like './configure && make && make 
install'.
3. everything went smoothly except just installed some dependencies and then it 
was all fine.
4. when i try to execute /usr/local/bin/adesklets it just exits silently (i 
could paste an strace of it if this would help).
5. also when i try to run adesklets_installer it executes smoothly however when 
i try to install any module through it just fails with this error below...

6. also when i get any adesklet applet and try to install it, it just
gives me this error (this is on the Calendar applet)...

####
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./Calendar.py", line 14, in <module>
    import adesklets

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'signal'

7. i suspect that this is relate with being on a 64bit python so any
suggestions or a fix would be nice.

Thanks.
