Added SRU description, though also found bug 1702367 which affects 16.04 and later... Wish I found that earlier :/
** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * smartshine has an insufficient list of dependencies, so users might + end up in a situation where required dependencies happens to not be + installed. + + + [Test Case] + 1. Install smartshine + 2. Verify that python-cairo and python-gi are installed. + 3. Verify smartshine starts without any dialogs with errors. + 4. Attempt to uninstall either python-cairo or python-gi (try one at a time). When attempting to uninstall either libarary, smartshine should be listed as "will also be removed". + + Before the fix, both libraries could be removed, at which point + smartshine would print an error message in the terminal. + + + [Regression Potential] + There should be no changes in package itself, only additional dependencies have been added. Thus, more packages are installed. + + I was clicking around in the application and found bug 1702367 though, + which is a bit more severe than this one. Even though it is possible to + run the application, it won't do much. Note that this occurs prior to + the patch, so it is not a regression. + + + [Original report] + In Ubuntu 16.04.2 when is installed smartshine from the official repository it does not start. If the app is started by the GUI there is no error , if the app is started by the terminal is shown a generic error "An error occured. Python or one of its sub modules is absent..." The error can be solved simply installing python-cairo from the official repository. ps: sorry for English not perfectly correct -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1701648 Title: app never starts in Ubuntu 16.04.2 due to missing python-cairo module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/smartshine/+bug/1701648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
