[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#691396: ibus-anthy: Engine fails to start

[Marcus Lundblad]

Package: ibus-anthy
Version: 1.4.99.20120327-1
Severity: important

Trying to use ibus-anthy with gnome-shell 3.6.1 in experimental.
I add a Japanese keyboard layout using anthy. Things don't work.
After some digging around, I found that the file
/usr/share/ibus-anthy/engine/_config.py contains invalid paths.
These paths (PKGDATADIR, LIBEXECDIR, and LOCALEDIR) starts with /usr/share
Thus, python won't find the modules defined by the engine.
Manually changing these paths to have a prefix of "/usr/" actually makes it
work.
I can now type in text with the Japanese input method (and also the input
method options appears in gnome-shell's keyboard menu in the top bar).

Regards,
Marcus Lundblad
