keymon 1.13-1 broke in Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install keymon 1.13-1 either from downloaded .deb or through Software Center
2.Run keymon.
3.Nothing happens.  Also, the icon for keymon comes up as a gray box with a 
question mark in it.

Please provide any additional information below.
keymon 1.12-1 works on Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit with no problems.  Its just keymon 
1.13-1 that does not.

I don't use Ubuntu, but if you can provide some debug information by running 
with `--debug` from command-line, that may be helpful for others to see the 
problems.

Just to reply to your bug.
I tried installing 1.13 on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit and it works.
I'll have to use Virtual box to try your setting...

Just tried this under Virtual Box and got an installation error, so I was able 
to reproduce the bug.
Probably caused by not being able to install python-xlib.

 keymon depends on python-xlib; however:
  Package python-xlib is not installed.

dpkg: error processing keymon (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Will investigate further.

Isn't that strange? From Shaun's description, it doesn't seem to be stuck at 
package manager on that dependency issue.

He's said the 1.12-1 has no problems. So, his system should already have 
python-xlib installed. Unless, something wasn't told in his description.

This sounds like there is an issue in packaging to me, which should pull 
python-xlib and install it while installing keymon package. I don't know 
anything about .deb or Ununtu packaging, so I may be wrong. Anyways, this 
should be a separate issue, IMO.

I just try reinstalling keymon 1.13-1 in the software-center using --debug in a 
terminal. (File Attached)

After having installed keymon I tried running it in terminal.  It says: 
No command 'keymon' found, did you mean:
 Command 'keymod' from package 'dnssec-tools' (universe)
 Command 'key-mon' from package 'keymon' (universe)
keymon: command not found

As if keymon were not installed.  It created an icon in the launcher for keymon 
but running it does nothing as well.

Something I noticed while working in the terminal:
key-mon and keymon refer to the same program.  Perhaps this has something to do 
with why 1.13-1 won't install properly.

So was that the issue?  You need to call key-mon and not keymon ?

No. In both cases, keymon doesn't install properly.

Since I don't use Ubuntu, so I can't really know what's going on.

But this would be what I do.

1. Remove keymon package(s) and all keymon configuration files (`rm -rf 
~/.config/key-mon`). Double-check to make sure there is no keymon files on your 
system by using `find`.
2. Download source tarball, run it to see if it works.
3. Do #1 again, install the package, and see if it works.

Run keymon with `--debug`. (That was the suggestion I meant for keymon not your 
package manager)

Optional: search Ubuntu/Debian bug tracker to see if there is similar cases.

Not sure if this resolves this, but I created a new version of the debian 
package with updated standards version.

Yes!!  The newest version 1.15-1 works!  I've tested it both on Ubuntu 32-bit 
and 64-bit and it works perfect, as long as you uninstall the older version 
first.
