missing dependencies suggestions for plug-ins are not clear

[lipstick]

The plugin system shows what python modules are needed to be able to run a plugin. However, those names are not directly mappable to packages, and can cause misunderstandings (such as the original report about this bug: the missing package is "evolution", which means that the package "python-evolution" is missing).

*********** ORIGINAL REPORT ************
Binary package hint: gtg

I have already got evolution but the plug in says the module can not be loaded.

It appears you don't have the package python-evolution.
Please report if that solves your problem.

You're right, though, the message isn't clear. This issue should go away as plugins will be packaged separately, so that their dependancies will be resolved upon installation. I'm leaving this open until that happens.

Yes, it solved the problem. Thanks.

[I made this solution considering that only debian systems had python-lib instead of lib, where lib is written in python. IF this is wrong just correct me.]

I've tried something to help fix this... But this sound rather complicated, first I tried to use direct apt.// links in the programm but finally changed to a simpler solution.

This solution has a major problem, it's that packages that arn't categorized under python-lib in debian systems are now uncorrectly categorized...

 Like bugz for the bugzilla plugin.

 So this is just a little help of what could be done if the problem was alway the same...

[Luca Invernizzi (invernizzi)]

that's a very specific solution to a general problem. Keep in mind that gtg users use different kind of distribution and operating systems (i.e. *Bsd).

[Thibault Févry (thibaultfevry)]

 Yes, but the only "nice" way to do that would be separated packages, no ?

[Luca Invernizzi (invernizzi)]

Well, after some debate, that's probably the way we're heading (have a look at bug #591747).
Another way, not listed there, would be to keep a dictionary of [distro, python-module] -> package, with "distro" taken from "lsb_release --id", which *should* be supported by most distros. That, however, would mean that we would need at least one tester per distro.
