[Bug 865388] Re: Crash when using GTK elements due to use of deprecated function

[Tom Ellis]

After applying a small patch to gtk2.py, we can over come the issue:

130,131c130,131
<         reaper = vte.reaper_get()
<         reaper.connect("child-exited", self.child_exited)
---
>         self.terminal = vte.Terminal()
>         self.terminal.connect("child-exited", self.child_exited)

Title:
  Crash when using GTK elements due to use of deprecated function

Status in “python-apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ## Issue
   * python-apt crashes when using a gtk element.
   * Deprecated call from python-vte

  ## Environment

  Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64
  python-apt 0.8.0ubuntu8
  python-vte 0.28.0ubuntu2

  ## Diagnostic steps

  1. Using the example from: http://apt.alioth.debian.org/python-apt-doc/library/apt.progress.gtk2.html
  2. Run example on an oneiric system

  This worked fine in before Oneiric's version of python-apt but now fails:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "test.py", line 29, in <module>
      main()
    File "test.py", line 14, in main
      progress = apt.progress.gtk2.GtkAptProgress()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/progress/gtk2.py", line 373, in __init__
      self._progress_install = GInstallProgress(self._terminal)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/progress/gtk2.py", line 130, in __init__
      reaper = vte.reaper_get()
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'reaper_get'

  ## Workaround

  ## Other info

  A gnome app, 'OnTV' faced a similar issue with the function and fixed it with this patch:
