  Hi,
 in package setup.py of fred-whois-2.8.4, line 73:
     def check_CORBA(self):
         try:
             from omniORB import CORBA
             import omniidl
         except ImportError, msg:
             sys.stderr.write('ImportError: %s\nWhois needs omniORB and omniidl
module. For more see README.\n' % msg)
             sys.exit(1)
 from what i've inspected in the source code, there is no file which "import
omniidl". this requirement will make installation error although omniidl-python
package has been installed (i am using ubuntu precise). So it should be:
     def check_CORBA(self):
         try:
             from omniORB import CORBA
         except ImportError, msg:
             sys.stderr.write('ImportError: %s\nWhois needs omniORB. For more see
README.\n' % msg)
             sys.exit(1)
