[Python-apps-team] Bug#514804: fails to start harvestman

[Markus Glugla]

Package: harvestman
Version: 1.4.6-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


After an installation from debian the start fails:

> harvestman -C config.xml 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/harvestman", line 5, in <module>

I found a tip about an ubuntu system and It fix the problem. 
Here it is:

The right file on debian is:
/usr/share/pyshared/HarvestMan/connector.py
Thanks to Fabrice ... now harvestman runs under debian lenny.
