Thanks for your report. There has been some discussion of this in Debian - see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=389540 and the bugs linked in comments there.
The problem would be fixed by moving python-xml from a 'suggests' back to a 'recommends' dependency. However, this would apparently violate Debian policy. The ideal solution would probably be something suggested in the Debian report: "Maybe you might want to apply the following idea: patch (debian-side) the warning/information messages to display that the user is required to install the `python-xml' (or other...) package(s) to have this extension working, that's why it was put as a `Suggests:' dependency. This way, the user is told exactly what to do (e.g. `Please install the "python-xml" package to have this extension working')" ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #389540 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=389540 ** Also affects: inkscape (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=389540 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed ** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- inkscape pyxml missing python-xml https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
