assertion error on volti (BunSid)

Hello Folks,

trying to launch volti the other day i saw it won't start.
the problem seem to be an "Assertion Error" (assert dbus.version >= (0, 80, 0)) as to be seen here.
For me the simple (though very dirty) solution was to comment out line 27 in /usr/lib/volti/volti.run and so far no further errors occurred.
since this file will be probably be replaced when the updated version comes along, i think it is save to live like this till then.

UPDATE:

this morning (i think it was due to some kind of python package being updated) volti rendered unusable again, still proclaiming the installed version of python-dbus is too low. well it certainly is not and all solutions to make volti skip this test failed for me. (see the newer bug-report for more information).
Since i am lost in the fields of programming python to find a solution by myself, i decided to replace it with volumeicon, untill volti is updated (or i got used to it and decide to stick to it)

I hope i could help.
have a nice day!

See this thread for a good solution. For the lazy:
-snip-
Change this:

import dbus._version

to this:

from _dbus_bindings import __version__

This works like a charm.
great, thank you!

edit: I will still not mark this thread as solved untill volti is updated in the sources or an official patch is released, if this is fine withe forum rules.
