gnome-games should depend on python-glade2

[righthere]

gnome-sudoku in Hardy Heron Kubuntu 8.04 crashes on start from command line with the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/gnome-sudoku", line 58, in <module>
    start_game()
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gnome_sudoku/gnome_sudoku.py", line 20, in start_game
    import main
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gnome_sudoku/main.py", line 7, in <module>
    import gtk, gobject, gtk.glade
ImportError: No module named glade

This was a fresh install of 8.04 with kubuntu-restricted and gnome-games packages added.

I confirm the bug on Hardy amd64

same message on launch.

[Jason D. Clinton (me-jasonclinton)]

Hi, I'm an Gnome Games maintainer in upstream. This appears to be a dependency problem in the Ubuntu package. It should depend on python.*gnome.*desktop.

[kpitn (pierre-basile)]

I just test to install python-gnome2-desktop package but the package is already install.

Any Idea ?

[Jason D. Clinton (me-jasonclinton)]

On Debian, you need python-gnome2 and python-gnome2-desktop.

[barnacle (nailed-barnacle)]

On Kubuntu Hardy 8.04, same issue: requires the installation of python-glade2.

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

Fresh install of Kubuntu 8.04.1 and still the same issue.

[Kamalakar Agashe (kagashe)]

I have used sudoku (installed through gnome-games) for many days but now it fails. I am using LXDE and the packages python-gnome2, python-gnome2-desktop even python-glade2 is already installed.

Same problem here. Tried to reinstall python2.5 and glade2, but the problem still occurs.

[Hew (hew)]

Is this still a problem with Intrepid? Thanks in advance.

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

I just tested with Kubuntu-8.10RC and the bug is still there:
$ apt-get install gnome-sudoku
$ gnome-sudoku
Traceback (most recent call last):

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the submitter is using the gnome-sudoku and not the gnome-games version

[Hew (hew)]

Reassigning to gnome-games after talking with Sebastien.

Could you please specify the version of gnome-games you have installed (eg. 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2)? Is python-glade2 installed, or if not, does installing it fix the problem? Thanks.

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

Here are the steps to reproduce the bug:
1) Start up Kubuntu-8.10 from the desktop Install CD.
2) Open K -> Applications -> System -> Terminal
3) type "sudo apt-get install gnome-sudoku" and press Enter
4) type "gnome-sudoku" and press Enter

[Jason D. Clinton (me-jasonclinton)]

I am upstream. The issue is that "gnome-sudoku" is still in your repos. despite being told repeatedly (elsewhere) to remove it. gnome-sudoku is part of Gnome Games now and uses the same .py files and paths that the (very) old gnome-sudoku uses. This is a case that python-support cannot handle correctly. That is the issue and that is why there is so much confusion over this bug.

[Hew (hew)]

gnome-sudoku does not exist in the latest releases of Ubuntu. The only reference to gnome-sudoku is that gnome-games provides gnome-sudoku. There is no package called gnome-sudoku. Please check the Ubuntu repositories to see that this is the case.

The issue only seems to be occuring on KDE systems, which suggests it is caused by a missing dependency that is otherwise included on GNOME systems. This is why I've asked if someone experiencing the problem can check if python-glade2 is installed, and if installing it fixes the problem.

I have changed the sourcepackage back to gnome-games as I have previously checked this with Sebastien Bacher. Hopefully the "confusion" in this bug will be resolved once someone answers my previous questions.

Ronny, I'm not running Kubuntu, and don't have a Kubuntu image here to install so I'm not able to test. Running sudoku on Ubuntu does not produce the problem for me.

I apologise if it seems like I'm asking an unnecessary question, but it would really help if you could install python-glade2 and report on whether the problem still occurs for you. Thanks in advance.

[ronny (ronny-standtke)]

> I'm not running Kubuntu, and don't have a Kubuntu image here to install so I'm not able to test.
That's easy to fix:
$ wget http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/intrepid/kubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso
$ sudo apt-get install qemu
$ qemu -cdrom kubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso
... or use virtualbox-ose if you like this better...

> it would really help if you could install python-glade2 and report on whether the problem still occurs for you.
Installing python-glade2 fixes the problem.

PS: I am not using anything of this. I just run into this bug when I was giving Kubuntu a test run. Therefore my time and effort when testing and verifying the bug (or the repair) is as high as yours.

[Jason D. Clinton (me-jasonclinton)]

gnome-sudoku IS NOT gnome-games. Please stop confusing the two; do not file any more bug reports on gnome-sudoku; it should have been removed from the Ubuntu repositories ages ago.

[Hew (hew)]

Thanks for the info Ronny, this confirms the problem is due to the missing dependency, marking triaged. This isn't really the place to discuss my testing situation, but the short version is that download quota is limited in Australia.

Jason, I appreciate the input of upstream in this report, but I don't think you understand that there is no gnome-sudoku package in the Ubuntu repositories (except for Dapper). gnome-sudoku is simply a Provides dependency for gnome-games. Anyone that tries to install "gnome-sudoku" will get gnome-games instead. Again I urge you to check the Ubuntu repositories to see what I mean [1][2][3]. gnome-sudoku was indeed removed from the repositories ages ago, and bugs are no longer (meant to be) filed against that package since it doesn't exist (except for Dapper). As you may have noticed, the way I found this bug was due to it being incorrectly reported against gnome-sudoku. It is now correctly a gnome-games bug, has been tested and triaged, and is only waiting for the dependency to be added. Thanks again for your input :-)
