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)
