Ubuntu support for BS4 4.6.3 via deb file #114

Closed victorromeo closed 4 years ago

victorromeo commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I was unable to create and install a deb file using the normal approach as Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't have a stable python3-bs4 4.6.3

Instead, I had to remove the version from the deb dependency, and manually install the beautifulsoup4 using pip3 install beautifulsoup4 before installing email2pdf

Cheers

Victor,

Thanks for the report! Are you sure? I don't have an Ubuntu 18.04 installation, but I see it does seem to have a python3-bs4 package here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python3-bs4. Does that not work for you?

Thanks, Andrew.

Yes, sorry. The version 4.6.3 is not currently available on Ubuntu in that form. To use this release requires a manual modification to use bs4 via a pip3 installation rather than the package. As a result users may be unsure why their installations fail. This will resolve itself once the package is released. The issue was raised to ensure others also had this information so they weren’t left scratching their heads what to do next.

Closing this issue off, as my development environment has progressed past 18.04 and cannot replicate the issue.
