[Bug 1936697] Re: Unlisted dependency

[Computerworm01001]

Hello Mattia, and thank you for clarifying the role pbuilder plays in
ubuntu-dev-tools. The page I linked above does not mention alternatives
to pbuilder; that is why I thought it was necessary.

Given that pbuilder is, in fact, optional, I think the solution Jessica
proposed (adding python3-distutils as a Recommends:) is a reasonable
one.

Kind regards,
Computerworm01001

[Bug 1936697] Re: Unlisted dependency

[Computerworm01001]

Hello Jessica, and thank you for your rapid response. Your explanation
of the dependency situation with pbuilder and ubuntu-dev-tools is
helpful. However, I don't understand why pbuilder itself is only
suggested and not required by ubuntu-dev-tools. According to the Ubuntu
Packaging Manual(https://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/getting-set-
up.html#set-up-pbuilder), pbuilder is a necessary tool for the packaging
process. I think that pbuilder, and by extension python3-distutils
should both be required by ubuntu-dev-tools.

Kind regards,

[Bug 1936697] [NEW] Unlisted dependency

[Computerworm01001]

Public bug reported:

I am using pbuilder 0.231build1 on Ubuntu 21.04 Hirsute. I tried to run
"pbuilder-dist hirsute create" and received this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pbuilder-dist", line 32, in 
import distutils.spawn
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.spawn'

I tried it three more times and the same thing kept happening, so then I
took a closer look at the error message, and decided to "apt search" for
a Python distutils package in the repos. I found python3-distutils, and
installed it, then I tried running pbuilder-dist again and it succeeded.

Therefore, the fix for this bug is to add python3-distutils as a
dependency of pbuilder.

Thank you and have a good day!

Signed,
