Dear Ingo,

I completely purged rubber and re-installed it; still working. Yes,
that test.tex is rather empty, but that should not matter here.

You have not the latest python version running.

Does upgrading eventually solve your problem?

Bug#699201: rubber: Rubber does not run with ImportError: No module named rubber.cmdline

[Ingo Fründ]

Package: rubber
Version: 1.1+20100306-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

with a fresh install of rubber, it is not possible to run rubber
directly. Instead rubber throws an ImportError:

$ rubber test.tex
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/bin/rubber, line 3, in module
from rubber.cmdline import Main
ImportError: No module named rubber.cmdline

It seems like rubber does not know where to look for its own modules.
The problem can be partly solved by explicitely specifying the PYTHONPATH:

$ PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/pyshared/ rubber test.tex
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/bin/rubber, line 3, in module
from rubber.cmdline import Main
  File /usr/share/pyshared/rubber/__init__.py, line 147, in module
import rubber.converters
ImportError: No module named converters

Now, rubber apparently finds at least some of its modules. Yet, it still
exits with an error. A simple

$ touch /usr/share/pyshared/rubber/converters/__init__.py
$ touch /usr/share/pyshared/rubber/latex_modules/__init__.py

solves the problem such that rubber runs now if the PYTHONPATH is
explicitely specified.

Both changes (PYTHONPATH and __init__.py) render the package unusable
for non python programmers.

Thank you very much for maintaining rubber,

Ingo Fründ
