[solved(ish)] Sonata stopped working

[vEX] · 2007-01-23 10:49:35

I was trying to start Sonata today and noticed that it wouldn't start so I started a terminal to catch any messages and got this:

$ sonata
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/sonata", line 28, in ?
import sonata
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/sonata.py", line 31, in ?

import socket
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/socket.py", line 45, in ?
import _socket
ImportError: No module named _socket

Checking /var/log/pacman.log I notice python got updated yesterday:

[01/22/07 21:59] upgraded python (2.4.4-1 -> 2.4.4-1.1)

Any idea how to solve this?

I'm running Arch64 and it seems this python update was for Arch64 only.

EDIT: I just downgraded to 2.4.4-1 and it works fine now. I'm filing a bug report.

EDIT2: Or not, sorry but I'm not keen on giving away my full name just to file a bug report.
