I asked urpmi to give me sabnzbd and the following were installed: 1/10: python2-ply 2/10: python2-pycparser 3/10: python2-cffi 4/10: python2-cheetah 5/10: python-yenc 6/10: python2-asn1crypto 7/10: python2-cryptography 8/10: python2-OpenSSL 9/10: parchive2 10/10: sabnzbd I clicked the icon in the menu, there was a flash of a window, then nothing. I executed the application indicated in the menu item: sh -c "cd /usr/share/SABnzbd/ && python SABnzbd.py" and got: Sorry, requires Python module Cheetah 2.0rc7 or higher. Searched in google, that led to a Debian bug on that symptom: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900826 Maybe someone could take a look, please? Thanks.
Will do - thanks for reporting.

The cheetah issue may be fixed locally with a minor change (see below), however the package is still out of date and updating it in Mga7 would require new supporting packages (python2-gntp and python-sabyenc) which I do not want to try to introduce into a stable release. If I had known about this during Mga7 development then it could have been updated, but unfortunately my check script for package version updates was telling me that the version was current. Since this package has not (quite) yet been ported to python3 it cannot currently be updated for Mga8, so even a backport from Cauldron is not currently possible. To fix the start-up issue in Mga7 change the line (around line 47) in /usr/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py as follows: - if Cheetah.Version[0] != '2': + if Cheetah.Version[0] < '2': If this is adequate and the current version is then usable please let me know and I can submit just this change. If anyone would like to take over this package, please feel free to do so, as I really don't have the time right now. Just ask and I will willingly release it to 'nobody'.
After the patch, the program starts and I'm able to find the web interface. All seems operational; I just have to figure out how to use it. Thanks!

OK if that seems to work ok then maybe it's worth pushing that simple change as an update. Re-opening until that is done. BTW it must be 10 years since you were teaching me about grub on the Mdv forum! Time flies :)

Looking at the scraps of email and files on my computer, including a copy of Tom Berger's MandrakeUser.org, I'm reminded of how I was taught by the cooker devs, some still here, and other users on lists, groups, and at Denis Havlik's Mandrake Club. My experience has been a testament of an enduring philosophy that earned the reputation of "first user-friendly Linux distro"[*]. Considering how the relatively simple grub and its easily remembered tools has evolved to grub2, I suppose the student has become the teacher. ;) [*] https://fossforce.com/2019/04/gael-duval-father-of-user-friendly-linux-on-mandrake-and-e-phone/
