Traceback (most recent call last):

    import oz.TDL
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oz/TDL.py", line 37, in <module>
    import oz.ozutil
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oz/ozutil.py", line 44, in <module>

The oz package should depend on python-monotonic

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I got the same error message before installing python-monotonic, and I have forwarded this issue to the Debian maintainer (see the attached bug watch).

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

As mentioned in the Debian bug report, this issue has been resolved. I've verified that on newer Ubuntu releases (19.10 and upwards), oz has a strict dependency on python(3)-monotonic.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
