raise ResolutionError( pkg_resources.ResolutionError: Script 'scripts/QuickWall' not found in metadata

[Locvic]

Hello, I am having an issue using QuickWall after installing using the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/deepjyoti30/QuickWall cd QuickWall sudo python3 setup.py install

Python version: 3.8.1 Distro: Void Linux

Running QuickWall only outputs this error:

➜  ~ QuickWall --search
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/QuickWall", line 4, in <module>
    __import__('pkg_resources').run_script('QuickWall==0.0.2', 'QuickWall')

@victor31337 Can you give me the logs of installation. Seems like something went wrong while installing.

Also, did you try installing using pip??

This is what results after trying to install via pip

[deepjyoti30]

You need to have dbus installed.

Install it using sudo pip install dbus

I forgot to add dbus as requirement to the setup.py

[Locvic]

sudo pip3 install dbus returns:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement dbus (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for dbus

however, sudo xbps-install -S python3-dbus is successful. but when running QuickWall this happens:

➜  ~ QuickWall --help
zsh: permission denied: QuickWall

running as sudo just returns the same error, I also tried changing permissions for the QuickWall binary but it just returns the same error:

➜  ~ sudo QuickWall

@victor31337 Was it fixed in the latest update? The package name was dbus-python

[Locvic]

I'm unable to replicate the error, I have moved on from Linux for now.
