[Bug 1260107] Re: trusty version experiences a runtime error due to hwdata changes

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ Run system-config-kickstart and receive the traceback in comment #2.
+ With the version of s-c-k from trusty-proposed you shouldn't receive that traceback.
+ 
+ Regression Potential
+ --------------------
+ Little as we are just removing a couple of calls.
+ 
  The file (/usr/share/hwdata/videodrivers) no longer exists in Trusty,
  subsequently xconfig.py fails because of the following:
  
-     def fill_driver_list(self):
-         #add video drivers to list
-         try:
-             driverFile = open("/usr/share/hwdata/videodrivers", "r")
-         except:
-             raise RuntimeError, (_("Could not read video driver database"))
+     def fill_driver_list(self):
+         #add video drivers to list
+         try:
+             driverFile = open("/usr/share/hwdata/videodrivers", "r")
+         except:
+             raise RuntimeError, (_("Could not read video driver database"))
  
  Here's the latest hwdata changelog.
  
  hwdata (0.249-1) unstable; urgency=low
  
+   * latest upstream release from 2013-06-20
+     - upstream removed upgradelist, MonitorDB, videodrivers
  
-   * latest upstream release from 2013-06-20
-     - upstream removed upgradelist, MonitorDB, videodrivers

  So something needs to change.
