Yes it would be nice to have all these third party dependencies available. Not sure how feasible it is. Vendors could 
contribute them by themselves if they though this was useful


Would you be willing to send me a list of what you have done to get hardware wallets 
working for you and which hardware wallets are supported by these steps?


I only own Ledger, and it was enough to do `pip install ledger_bitcoin[hid]` as specified in 
https://pypi.org/project/ledger-bitcoin/ to make it work again. I do not recall what I have additionally installed years 
ago when I first started using Electrum.


The problem is that after some time in the future, I'll need to do the same thing again, and hope I remember what's 
missing and not spam Debian bug tracker again :) .

Vincas,

Thank you for the information in your bug report and for your followup fix.

I do not personally own any hardware wallets, so I have not been able to test 
out hardware 
wallet support.

Based on what you have written, it would appear that the dependency you needed 
to have 
installed is not packaged in Debian.

https://pypi.org/project/ledger-bitcoin/[1]

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ledger[2]

Also, it appears it might be specific to hardware manufactured by Ledger, 
although I admit 
that I do now know enough about the subject to be sure.

In the future it would be ideal to package everything in Debian necessary to 
fully support 
hardware ledgers.  However, as that is not likely to happen in the short term, 
I think it 
would be valuable to at least document what a user needs to add to get hardware 
wallets 
working in a README file installed with Electrum.

Would you be willing to send me a list of what you have done to get hardware 
wallets 
working for you and which hardware wallets are supported by these steps?

Thanks,

Soren
