Gramps does not work for me either. I am using 32 bit in Mageia2. Never had any trouble before.

I have the same problem :

[marc@erato ~]$ python /usr/share/gramps/gramps.py

Hi,
I fund on the web this :
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122186
and
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Install_latest_BSDDB#Make_Gramps_use_bsddb3

Hi,
On the french Mageia forum (MLO) :

http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-13202-1+gramps.php

Seems a file got lost between last python updates:

This is python version from core/release, this should make Gramps work:
[doktor5000@Mageia2 ~]$ urpmq -l python-2.7.3-2.mga2 | grep bsddb.so
/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/_bsddb.so


This is the python version from core/updates where formerly contained file is missing, gramps will fail with that:

$ urpmq -l python-2.7.3-2.2.mga2 | grep bsddb.so

Copying the file from the older package into /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/ makes gramps work.

Assigning to current python maintainer.

Hi,
I have copying the file _bsddb.so into /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/ and Gramps works but my family tree can't load !

-30974, 'DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery -- process-private: unable to find environment'

This was only meant as part of a workaround, and needs to be properly fixed, hence the python maintainer has to take a look the bsddb problem, then i can try to fix gramps itself, if there are still outstanding problems.

Hi,
A bug for python was created ?

I just submitted a new python package to core/updates_testing.

The problem was accidentally switching from db4.8 to db5.1 while fixing some security issues.
Please try this new package and report back.

I have the same problem.

What is the name of your updated package ? libpython2.7 - 2.7.3-2.1.mga2, i586, Core 32bit Updates Testing (distrib35), whose size is 1591 Kb ?

CC: (none) => svensson.inga

It's several packages, all with the version and release 2.7.3-2.3.mga2

Here's the list:
- lib64python2.7
- lib64python-devel
- python
- python-debug
- python-docs
- tkinter
- tkinter-apps

Todays updates from testing seem to have done the trick. Gramps fires up and seems to work OK now.

Thanks to all concerned.

I am using 32 bit. Where can I download the update packages? I tried core update testing in software management. Python was not available.

Testing on Mageia 2 64-bits. The new python packages fix the gramps problem. I do not have "ImportError: No module named _bsddb" problem anymore. Thanks.

@Gary: They should be. Perhaps your mirror did not sync yet.

@Richard @Olivier: Thanks for testing, any other comments?

I haven't thoroughly tested but Gramps starts and runs OK. I was able to import a GED file and display the tree so It seems OK.

I think the problem is that software management does not add updates. I had this problem before and I think there is a urpmi code I am supposed to use to set the updates. Id there a urpmi sequence to get the updates?

You need to activate the updates_testing repo. You can do so using drakrpm-edit-media as root.
Please be careful to deactivate after installing the python packages or you will get packages that might be unstable.

@qa team:

There is an updated python package in updates repo to fix a regression that was introduced with one of the last security updates to python.

Source rpm in question:
python-2.7.3-2.3.mga2.src.rpm

Rpms in question:
see comment #12

This updates fixes a regression introduced in the 2.73-2.1 security update.
Accidentally the package build was switched from db4.8 to db5.1
This has been reversed with this update.
---

Testing procedure:
the broken package missed the
/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/_bsddb.so file and thus python software using berkeley db did not work any more.
An example package for that regression is gramps.

I tested on Mageia 2 64-bits today, and it works ! The new python packages fix the Gramps problem and I don't have "ImportError: No module named _bsddb" problem anymore. Thank you Olivier for your support & reactivity !

@Gary: I think that your mirror didn't sync yet. Yesterday i cound'nt see the packages and today I saw and installed them successfully.

I will continue playing with Gramps and tell you back if I face new problems, but it seems to work correctly.

Status: ASSIGNED => NEW

We got testing reports for both archs confirming that the problem is fixed. I started various programs depending on python and saw no obvious regression.

Let's validate this one fast, since the current python package in updates is broken. Update validated.

SRPM: python-2.7.3-2.3.mga2.src.rpm
