Bug Description

On my dev box running ubuntu intrepid, the coherence plugin fails to load with the following warning:

plugin elisa-plugin-coherence has the following unmet dependencies: Twisted>=2.5.0 (elisa/core/plugin_registry.py:362)

The cause of the problem lies in coherence itself that declares a hard dependency on twisted (while in fact in only depends on the twisted-core and twisted-web subsets). The plugin registry, built on top of pkg_resources, refuses to load the plugin because it cannot find egg info for twisted.

If I manually install the python-twisted package, that solves the issue.

Karmic packages for the upcoming 1.0.8 have been updated and now include an explicit dependency on python-twisted to work around the problem that is still in coherence's package.
