Package: salt-common Version: 2016.11.2+ds-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I just did a minimal installation of Debian to configure it completely using salt. I was following the instructions for a masterless salt setup [1], except for installing `salt-common` instead of using their recommended bootstrapping script. [1] https://docs.saltstack.com/en/2016.11/topics/tutorials/quickstart.html After putting a minimal configuration in place, I invoked `salt-call` with the appropriate arguments, but it failed with this being the last two lines displayed: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/salt/transport/frame.py", line 7, in <module> import msgpack ImportError: No module named msgpack So I installed `python-msgpack` and everything works fine. It looks like that dependency should be added to the `salt-common` package.
