Impossible to load the plugin in 13.10 (missing libpeas loader)

[Leonardo Robol]

Trying to load gedit-latex-plugin in Gedit fails on Ubuntu 13.10, because libpeas complains about the missing loader "python".

This seems to be caused by the fact that gedit-latex-plugin 3.4 (that is included in saucy) uses python 2.x whilst gedit 3.8 (that also is included in saucy) can only load python 3.x based plugins. Switching the plugin to python3 is not a one-line fix, it seems (I tried but if failed with another error) but backporting 3.8 from trusty fixes the issue.

This is because gedit-latex has been ported to python 3.x in the meantime and works flawlessly with the current version in saucy. I would say that simply uploading 3.8.0-1 to saucy shouldn't cause any regression since the current status is that the plugin doesn't work _at all_ and there is nothing that depends on the gedit-latex-plugin package, so I would propose to use that as an easy fix.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Fixed (long time ago). This bugtracker is not used by the plugin maintainers. Please report bugs upstream ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gedit-latex/-/issues/ ).
