plague-server issues (4.4.1)

[Evan Klitzke]

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to get plague working. I have installed the plague
programs that come with Fedora Core 6 (4.4.1). When running
plague-server, I get the following error:

[evan at thinkpad ~]$ plague-server
Using database engine sqlite.

Builders:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  http://127.0.0.1:8888                   i386 i486 i586 i686 athlon
noarch     alive

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/plague-server", line 198, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/plague-server", line 152, in main
    bm_server.register_instance(ui)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'register_instance'

As a consequence, plague-client cannot connect to the server --
connection attempts always return '(111, 'Connection refused')'.  Does
anyone know if this is a known issue that has been fixed in a newer
release?  Alternatively, is there a way to get lots of
debugging/logging output? I poked around the code a bit, but I'm not
really sure how I would go about debugging it.

I have also tried the CVS snapshot, but I had problems importing the
yum logger module, presumably because this is a yum feature that isn't
in FC6.  I wouldn't mind using the CVS checkout if it fixes the
aforementioned problem, but I'd rather not have to upgrade a bunch of
other programs to bleeding edge versions to get plague working.
