python-tk dependency

[Áron Sisak]

I think that this package should include python-tk as a dependency.

I think there is no way to get the installer (adesklets -i) work without it, therefore it should list python-tk at least as a suggestion, but might be better to depend on it.

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/adesklets says that it "recommends" python-tk in Debian SID.

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

We don't recommend python-tk according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/x11/adesklets. We are shipping 0.5.0-2 with Edgy, Debian sid has 0.6.1-1.

Debian had a bug on this http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377782 (and also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377999)

I'll confirm and link to the Debian bug.

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

Confirmed via p.u.c and Debian upstream.

I can't set this bug as occuring upstream as Malone doesn't recognise adesklets as Malone doesn't recognise adesklets as a package.

However as this is fixed in Debian sid and we will sync from sid for Feisty it should be fixed in the next release.

Thanks for the bug report.

I'm closing this bug because it has been fixed in Feisty.
