landscape-client missing python-configobj dependency

[Christer Solskogen]

In trusty:

solskogen@friend:~$ landscape-sysinfo
solskogen@friend:~$ landscape-sysinfo -v
solskogen@friend:~$ landscape-sysinfo --help
solskogen@friend:~$ sudo landscape-sysinfo
[sudo] password for solskogen:

solskogen@friend:~$ dpkg -l | grep landscape
ii landscape-client 14.01-0ubuntu1 amd64 The Landscape administration system client
ii landscape-common 14.01-0ubuntu1 amd64 The Landscape administration system client - Common files
solskogen@friend:~$

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We need some more information from you before we can start working on this bug.

Could you please show the exit code of landscape-sysinfo when you run it? e.g.

$ sudo landscape-sysinfo
$ echo $?

[Christer Solskogen (christer-solskogen)]

solskogen@friend:~$ landscape-sysinfo
solskogen@friend:~$ echo $?
2

(same with sudo)

[Adam Collard (adam-collard)]

Thanks. It looks like you're getting some ImportError s which we only expect to get in transient situations like distribution upgrades.

To aid in the debugging could you please run the following:

$ sudo python -v $(which landscape-sysinfo) 2> python-import.log

... and attach the python-import.log file to the bug?

Here you go

Cheers, we're narrowing in on the problem! I suspect you're somehow missing a dependency. Next thing for you to try:

$ python -c 'import landscape.deployment'

I expect this to show a traceback for you (fingers crossed!)

[Christer Solskogen (christer-solskogen)]

This is the output
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/landscape/deployment.py", line 4, in <module>
    from configobj import ConfigObj, ConfigObjError
ImportError: No module named configobj

I've already tried purging the landscape-* packages and installing them again, so I'm pretty sure that the dependency is missing in source of the dpkg-package. Also it worked prior to the 14.01-0ubuntu1 version.

[Christer Solskogen (christer-solskogen)]

thanks! Installing python-configobj fixed it!
