[Bug 301007] Re: Missing package dependency
Just ran into this problem in Jaunty when testing smem (mentioned on this weeks LWN front page), and also described in the smem list archive here by someone else: http://selenic.com/pipermail/smem/2009-April/14.html Apparently the Debian package does have python-tk as a requirement, as can be seen here - http://packages.debian.org/stable/python-matplotlib -- Missing package dependency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[1] http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=80706 I think that it will be possible to write a post install script which will do the following: 1) check dependencies for all possible backends 2) Ignore backends for which dependencies are missing 3) Out of the working backends pick the pretties one 4) modify /etc/matplotlibrc to default to one that is installed what if install-time is weeks before the usage, so that packages gets installed and removed in between? By bash-foo is not perfect but I will work on this in the next week or so. So for now I'll assign this bug to myself. If I succeed I'll work with debian packaging team to incorporate it =D The best (only real?) solution is to let upstream provide an auto mode, like they already said they're working on it.

[Bug 301007] Re: Missing package dependency
python-matplotlib 0.98.3-4ubuntu1 depends on python-tk | python-gtk2 | python-wxgtk2.8 | python-qt3 | python-qt4. This means, that you need to have one of those packages installed. If you have none of those packages installed and you install python-matplotlib, python-tk will be installed. If you have one of those packages installed (except python-tk) and you install python-matplotlib, you have to install python-tk manually or change the default backend (in /etc/matplotlibrc). You always need the python package installed wich correspond to the selected backend. I do not know how to assure that the correct python package is installed. The other way is to select the backend based on the installed packages. A plan for the future is to have a auto backend which searches for the installed packages and select the first he finds. ** Changed in: matplotlib (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- Missing package dependency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
