Hi. Seems to be a dependency issue in the debian package? A missing dependency on setuptools/distribute, perhaps? Or maybe there is an issue with setuptools/distribute in your environment.
See if running "sudo apt-get install python-setuptools" solves your problem.
@ChristianKastner is the official Debian package maintainer, so I'll let him handle the rest of this one.
It was a missing dependency and installing python-setuptools solved the issue
solution:
sudo apt install python-setuptools -y
thanks!
Right. However, this should probably be added as a dependency to the package.
whoops sorry about that, thanks for the quick response!
Hi David, Adam,
I can confirm that the Debian and Ubuntu packages are missing a dependency on python-pkg-resources (which python-setuptools pulled in).
I have just uploaded a fixed version to Debian unstable. Luckily I'm still behind on asking for an Ubuntu sync for #120, so I can cover both with one request.
Thanks for the report! Christian
Great! Good work Christian. Closing the issue.
I ran into this problem after installing today. Manually installing python-setuptools
as directed above fixed it. If this dependency can't be installed automatically, perhaps it should be documented?
@mindplay-dk This has been fixed already. If you are runing old debian stable or something based of it it's just the dependencies that are wrong in those distributions.
