[Bug 301007] Re: python-matplotlib: missing package dependency (python-tk)
For now I will provide a patch that depends exclusively on 'python-tk' since this is the default configuration for the package as it is provided by upstream. An exclusive install depend on 'python-tk' will resolve THIS bug. Users who are aware of other options should have the ability to create a ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file that requests the 'backend' of their choice. Anyone with this knowledge should have the ability to install the appropriate packages to realize this. We can open a new bug regarding automatic selection of the 'best' available backend. -- python-matplotlib: missing package dependency (python-tk) 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

Given that there is not yet an upstream fix for this. Can we just patch the current code so the packaging will work? We can revisit the issue when a new version is released. In the meantime, our users are going to struggle to understand what's going on. Can we provide a working solution even if it is not the preferred long term solution? -- python-matplotlib: missing package dependency (python-tk) 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

2009/5/5 Дмитрий Ледков dmitrij.led...@gmail.com: 2009/5/5 John Haitas jhai...@gmail.com: I am already working on a patch that moves python-gtk2 etc... to the Suggests line... would that produce the desired results? Dunno... The idea here is that matplolib GUI has many types depending on different backends. A KDE user _can_ run the qt gui. A Gnome user _can_ run the GTK gui. etc. At runtime the _available_ backends should be checked and one should be picked which is curently available, ie. installed. Due to python / apt nature what is avaiable at install time is different from what is there at the runtime. Ideally we should be able to detect that. And we already talked with upstream authors to implement such functionality. I got this idea to use Python-Apt bindings to write a small function that will check with apt what's installed and pick the pretties one. I'll work on this, should be easy. Hopefully I will have something ready (patch, debdiff, PPA) in a few hours. No, that should be done inside matplotlib: check what's binding is available, choose the best. This will be Debian/Ubuntu solution. The solution descrive above will enter Debian, not anything else.

[Bug 301007] Re: python-matplotlib: missing package dependency (python-tk)
John, that patch will make python-gtk a dependency, which is what we were trying to avoid. Perhaps we should using python-gd as a placeholder on the | so that we ensure python-tk is always installed without bringing in gtk/qt dependencies. It looks like that's what Debian did in the stable package as Chris pointed out. -- python-matplotlib: missing package dependency (python-tk) 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
