[gentoo-user] gramps broken

[Noah Roberts]

A program I use called Gramps won't work anymore.  It appears to be a
problem with python rather than the program itself.  I can't figure it
out.  The ebuild works, I don't know what I might have upgraded but I
have been reinstalling various python modules ever since trying to make
it work.  Now I am stuck on this one:

Fatal Pithon error: could not import ORBit module
Aborted

I just forced emerge to emerge orbit-python-1.99.0-r1 but it is still
doing this.  Previously it complained about gtk2 so I emerged pygtk. 
Then it complained about gnome-python so I emerged it...now I get this
error and I emerged the orbit-python but it is still bitching.

Any ideas?  I've tried to emerge Gramps and it works fine but still
won't run.  I think it must have to do with interdependencies in the
libs it uses rather than what it uses itself because it was working
before and orbit-python wasn't here at that point.

I fixed this problem.  I needed pyorbit, not orbit-python.
