Why does bittorrent need wxgtk and wxpython now?

The previous version (4.0?) needed only pygtk... What's with the sudden reversion to WXWidgets requirement?

3.8: needed wxgtk and wxpython.

4.0: needed pygtk.

4.1: needs wxgtk and wxpython.

And there is nothing in the changelog about switching from GTK back to WXWidgets.

Oh, and BTW, version 4.1 is a beta.

Update: The wxgtk and wxpython dependencies are erroneous. Bittorrent's GUI will not work without pygtk.

Re: Why does bittorrent need wxgtk and wxpython now?

Yup, this bug was in 4.0.x also, I fixed the dependencies to pygtk, but the one that updated it to 4.1.x didn't cvs update his local copy. Instead, he used an old PKGBUILD with the wrong dependencies in it.

Fixed it again, hope the maintainer runs cvs update next time before starting to update packages.

Please advise this user what is now required in archlinux to utilize bittorent so that the following error is eliminated;

Re: Why does bittorrent need wxgtk and wxpython now?

Perhaps someone can advise the config required for bittorrent since my system as installed has  all the components referenced in the previous posts whether they apply or not.

I suspect there is conflict due to the setup.

I don't know what the error is about, but I would try to re-install python and bittorrent.

Re: Why does bittorrent need wxgtk and wxpython now?

Bittorrent is newly installed v 4.1.1-2 and used to work.

The system here has wxpython as well as wxgtk and pygtk and python which is what I reported in previous post.

If I reinstall python, and the conflict is present anyhow, no solution ensues.

Need is to know what is the right setup....(Asking may get you knowwhere) before re-installing.

Re: Why does bittorrent need wxgtk and wxpython now?

URL Bittorrent advises I need version 4.1.2.

Where can  find that version in arch pacman?[/i]

Re: Why does bittorrent need wxgtk and wxpython now?

dusty:~ $ pacman -Ss bittorrent
extra/bittorrent 4.1.2-1
    BitTorrent is a tool for copying files from one machine to another.

pacman -Sy bittorrent

should update.

Re: Why does bittorrent need wxgtk and wxpython now?

The desired version is 4.1.2 and pacman has 4.1.1-2...not an upgrade.

Try another mirror. The one you're using isn't up-to-date.

Your response was not from antarctica with the penguins... it was a HOT tip.

Thanks for your support and I now have 4.1.2-1 version.
