--- Begin Message ---Package: python-matplotlib Version: 2.2.3-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? trying to run a program which uses python-matplotlib and got the following crash: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtkagg.py", line 12, in <module> from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk import ( File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py", line 38, in <module> from matplotlib.backends.backend_gdk import RendererGDK, FigureCanvasGDK File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gdk.py", line 29, in <module> from matplotlib.backends._backend_gdk import pixbuf_get_pixels_array ImportError: No module named _backend_gdk * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Due to bug#889137 I modified one program line from this: from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg import NavigationToolbar2GTKAgg to this: from matplotlib.backends.backend_gtk3agg import NavigationToolbar2GTKAgg * What was the outcome of this action? Another crash: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk3agg.py", line 9, in <module> from . import backend_agg, backend_gtk3 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk3.py", line 19, in <module> from ._gtk3_compat import GLib, GObject, Gtk, Gdk File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/matplotlib/backends/_gtk3_compat.py", line 34, in <module> raise ImportError("The Gtk3 backend requires PyGObject or pgi") ImportError: The Gtk3 backend requires PyGObject or pgi * What outcome did you expect instead? The program to run. The program is not mine, I am not familiar with python ecosystem, so I am completely lost. I do not know if that's a Debian's fault to purge gtk2 support or matplotlib is unable to use gtk3 or if it is being called in a wrong way. I did install python-gi and python-gobject-2. I have no idea what is PyGObject, so at least the error message is useless/misleading. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python-matplotlib depends on: ii libc6 2.28-2 ii libfreetype6 2.9.1-3 ii libgcc1 1:8.2.0-13 ii libjs-jquery 3.2.1-1 ii libjs-jquery-ui 1.12.1+dfsg-5 ii libpng16-16 1.6.36-2 ii libstdc++6 8.2.0-13 ii python 2.7.15-3 ii python-backports.functools-lru-cache 1.5-1 ii python-cycler 0.10.0-1 ii python-dateutil 2.6.1-1 ii python-kiwisolver 1.0.1-2+b1 ii python-matplotlib2-data 2.2.3-5 ii python-numpy [python-numpy-abi9] 1:1.16.0~rc2-2 ii python-pyparsing 2.2.0+dfsg1-2 ii python-six 1.12.0-1 ii python-subprocess32 3.5.3-1 ii python-tz 2018.7-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages python-matplotlib recommends: ii python-pil 5.3.0-1 ii python-tk 2.7.15-1+b1 Versions of packages python-matplotlib suggests: ii dvipng 1.15-1.1 ii ffmpeg 7:4.1-1 ii ghostscript 9.26~dfsg-2 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.24.2-3 ii inkscape 0.92.3-7 ii ipython 5.8.0-1 ii librsvg2-common 2.44.10-1 pn python-cairocffi <none> pn python-configobj <none> pn python-excelerator <none> ii python-gi 3.30.4-1 ii python-gobject-2 2.28.6-13+b1 pn python-matplotlib2-doc <none> ii python-nose 1.3.7-4 ii python-qt4 4.12.1+dfsg-2+b1 ii python-scipy 1.1.0-2 ii python-sip 4.19.13+dfsg-1 ii python-tornado 5.1.1-2 pn python-traits <none> ii python-wxgtk3.0 3.0.2.0+dfsg-8 ii texlive-extra-utils 2018.20181214-1 ii texlive-latex-extra 2018.20181214-1 pn ttf-staypuft <none> -- no debconf information
