Bug#886573: gajim: Missing dependency python3-setuptools prevents startup on buster

[W. Martin Borgert]

Dear Alyssa,

many thanks for your bug report! But I cannot reproduce it.
I did remove python3-setuptools on my system and can still start
Gajim. Could you please send the complete Python stack trace to
this bug report? That way we can hopefully find out why we got
different results.

Thanks!

PS: About other issues you face with Gajim:
 - just ask in the XMPP MUC ga...@conference.gajim.org; most of
   the time, one gets helpful and friendly answers
 - report bugs here: https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/issues
 - feel free to report bugs at Debian, even if they seem to be
   upstream bugs, no problem

Bug#886573: gajim: Missing dependency python3-setuptools prevents startup on buster

[Alyssa Rosenzweig]

Package: gajim
Version: 1.0.0~alpha2-1
Severity: important

Hi,

As the subject states, gajim needs to have setuptools installed to open.
Without it, it throws a ModulenotFoundError. However, udner buster, it
does not depend on setuptools; the latter can be installed manually as a
workaround. Therefore, this dependency should be added.

I'm having other issues with gajim once it's actually connected,
although I don't believe this is related (rather, it appears to be an
upstream issue).

Thanks,

Alyssa
