Bug Description

When I try running gnome-wallchanger-config I get following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wallpaper-changer/gnome-wallchanger-config.py", line 29, in <module>
    from crontab import CronTab
ImportError: No module named crontab

At first, I tried it running without installing and got the same error (path to the file was different though). For random-wallpaper I get following error (I guess, it might be cause I haven't been able to configure wallchanger yet, just including in case it might be helpful)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wallpaper-changer/random-wallpaper.py", line 25, in <module>
    from config import config
  File "/usr/share/wallpaper-changer/config.py", line 19, in <module>
    from moxml.config import Config
ImportError: No module named moxml.config

I am using ubuntu 8.10, and cron is latest version available in repos.

You need to install the dependencies as well as the main deb. if you installed via the PPA it should have worked automatically. If you installed manually then you need to install the python-moxml and python-crontab packages manually too.

Changed in gnome-wallchanger:
status: New → Invalid

Ah, I looked in repos for any python-crontab like package but found none and couldn't find any information regarding dependencies so, wasn't sure about the problem. Didn't thought about looking in PPA, thanks for the help.
