[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#816729: [python-dbus] python-dbus upgrade breaks pamusb-agent

[Mark Brandis]

Package: python-dbus
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Since installing python-dbus this morning pamusb-agent crashes with

% pamusb-agent
pamusb-agent[6947]: pamusb-agent up and running.
pamusb-agent[6947]: Watching device "XXX" for user "YYY"
Traceback (most recent call last):

self._require_main_loop()
RuntimeError: To make asynchronous calls, receive signals or export
objects, D-Bus connections must be attached to a main loop by passing
mainloop=... to the constructor or calling dbus.set_default_main_loop(...)

Downgrading python-dbus to 1.2.0-2+b3 fixes the problem and pamusb-agent
works again.
