An idiot installs Sugar on rawhide

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

That idiot is me.

I installed Rawhide as of September 5th, a minimal install.  Here's what I 
did, and what happened.  Cut to the end for my idiot follow-up questions. 
:)

===

1. yum install sugar

Installs 20 packages.  Great.

===

2. sugar-emulator

Breaks.  Still not installing Xephyr.  Hmm.

===

3. yum install xorg-X11-server-Xephyr

Installs Xephyr.  Great.

===

4. sugar-emulator

Traceback, as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/sugar-shell", line 30, in <module>
     from main import main

So.  Idiot questions!

1. Who owns the Sugar package, and should we be adding 
xorg-X11-server-Xephyr as a dependency?

2. Why am I getting this traceback?  I'm guessing it's another dependency 
that isn't getting installed, but I don't know what it is.

We upstreamed a fix for it some months ago and got into 2.14.2, wonder
how we could have regressed on this?

No.  You did not regress.

Remember, I am an idiot!  And sometimes an idiot makes a bastardized live 
image that pulls from the wrong kickstart file!

Carry on.  :)

FWIW, you probably want 'yum groupinstall sugar-desktop' much like you'd
want 'yum groupinstall kde-desktop' or 'yum groupinstall gnome-desktop'

File the broken dep; easy enough to add it

sugar-emulator really should be split off in a sub package with the dep added 
on the subpackage.    that way it can be dropped off if so desired.   its not 
needed to have sugar as a standalone desktop.  just if you want to run it 
inside an existing desktop.

I think it's already splitted off. Greg was unintentionally running
some old rpms.

Disregard.  I had a busted ks file.

Now I have a good ks file from rawhide... but it doesn't seem to boot.  :)
