openxcap1.0.2 can not start- cannot import name generate_etag

Hi,

I can not start the server. I get this error:

Starting OpenXCAP 1.0.2
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/enterprise/util.py:19: DeprecationWarning: twisted.enterprise.util is deprecated since Twisted 8.0.0.
  category=DeprecationWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi Anca,

1. Python >= 2.5 is required, not 2.4.

If 2.4 is the default on your system, than you would probably need to fix the first line of /usr/bin/openxcap: replace the first line "#!/usr/bin/python" with "#!/usr/bin/python2.5"

2. Judging from line numbers and DeprecationWarning (twisted.enterprise.util is not used in openxcap since 1.0.0) some old version of xcap package was imported.

(Why does it says "Starting OpenXCAP 1.0.2" is puzzling though) I suggest to clean up the older versions of openxcap from the system completely.

Hi Anca,

Can you try the 1.0.6 release to see if your have the same problem in the latest version.
