Dbus-Python; Device-Mapper - Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 5.5 - TECHNICAL NOTES Manual

D-Bus is a system for sending messages between applications. It is used for the system-wide
message bus service, and as a per-user-login-session messaging facility.
* the dbus api help files (installed to /usr/share/devhelp/books/dbus/api/ by default) included with the
dbus-devel sub-package were previously automatically generated for each architecture. These auto-
generated files contain different timestamps and internal links and, consequently, caused file conflicts
with multilib that could prevent dbus-devel installation on 64-bit architectures. With this update, a
pre-generated set of help files, dbus-1.1.2-pregen-doc-api-html.tar.bz2, has been added to the rpm.
This removes the multilib file conflicts and allows installation of the dbus-devel sub-package in all
circumstances. (BZ#471359
All D-Bus users should install these updated packages which resolve this issue.

1.34. dbus-python

1.34.1. RHBA-2009:1559: bug fix available
Note
This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as errata
RHBA-2009:1559
Updated dbus-python packages that fix an issue with the puplet package updater are now available for
Red hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The dbus-python package provides a Python binding to the D-Bus system message bus.
This updated dbus-python package fixes the following bug:
* the puplet icon in the GNOME Notification Area displays notifications when updated packages are
available. However, due to an error in the dbus-python bindings, when updates were available, puplet
failed to display a notification. This update corrects the dbus-python bindings with the result that puplet
is once again able to notify the user of available updates.
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
