Package: gnome-orca
Version: 2.22.1-1.1
Severity: normal
Now that Python 2.5 is the default /usr/bin/python in Sid, Orca gives an error
("cannot connect to the desktop") and terminates during startup.
The fix is to change the python path specified in the /usr/bin/orca script to
refer to Python 2.5:
PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.5/site-packages
With this change, Orca starts up properly.
I suppose you could also change the python command in /usr/bin/orca to refer
to a particular version of Python instead of whatever the /usr/bin/python
symlink refers to.
