bootstrap_firmware not finding extract_bios on Centos 5 - SOLVED!

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

This was fixed sometime yesterday. I put a try/except around the import statement and disable the plugin if firmware_extract is not available. There should not be a hard dependency on firmware-extract anymore.

Hello all:

I've finally figured out why I couldn't run the bootstrap_firmware
command on my CentOS 5 system.  uname -a is:

2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 23 11:28:47 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have narrowed it down to extract_bios.py trying to do this:

import firmware_extract as fte

I originally installed the software by following the instructions on the
Repository/firmware Wiki at Dell:

# set up repos
wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/bootstrap.cgi | bash
wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash
# install firmware tools
yum -y install firmware-addon-dell

This all seemed to go smoothly.  However, we also need to:

yum -y install firmware-extract

This is what was missing.

Unfortunately, now I have a new problem - which I will send in another
e-mail.
