Missing dependency on gir1.2-gtk-3.0

[Siep Kroonenberg]

When trying to start system-config-printer from the command-line, I get an error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py", line 32, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Gdk
ImportError: cannot import name Gdk

After installing gir1.2-gtk-3.0 the error disappears.

[Impact]

The gir1.2-gtk-3.0 can be uninstalled or system-config-printer can be installed on a system with no gir1.2-gtk-3.0, leading to a non-working system-config-printer.

[Test Case]

Try to uninstall gir1.2-gtk-3.0 on a Trusty system with system-config-printer installed. It will work or if not, the dependencies shown will not include system-config-printer-gnome.

With the proposed package system-config-printer-gnome depends on gir1.2-gtk-3.0.

[Regression Potential]

No regression potential at all as there is no code change.

Which version of Ubuntu and of system-config-printer are you using? I have checked and both the versions of system-config-printer currently used by Utopic (14.10) and Vivid (15.04) depend on gir1.2-gtk-3.0.

Is it possible that when you installed gir1.2-gtk-3.0 that an older version of gir1.2-gtk-3.0 got replaced by a newer one? If yes, which was your old version and which the new version of gir1.2-gtk-3.0?

I had no old version installed; I just installed it in an effort to
get system-config-printer working. The currently-installed version
is 3.10.8-0ubuntu1.2

The dependency is present in the packages in Utopic and Vivid, but in Trusty it is indeed missing.

Hello Siep, or anyone else affected,

Accepted system-config-printer into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

On my system, version 1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.4 of system-config-printer-gnome depended on gir1.2-gtk-3.0: installing system-config-printer-gnome/trusty-proposed pulled in gir1.2-gtk-3.0, and uninstalling gir1.2-gtk-3.0 caused the removal of system-config-printer-gnome.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Thank you, now all is working as it should be.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

The proposed system-config-printer package for Trusty got a dependency on cups-filters-ippusbxd accidentally (binary package system-config-printer-udev). Therefore please reject the package in trusty-proposed. I will upload a corrected -0ubuntu2.5 immediately then.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Uploaded system-config-printer_1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.5 to trusty-proposed with the dependency on cups-filters-ippusbxd removed. See bug 1409263.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Checked the new package from trusty-proposed (-0ubuntu2.5) and here the dependency on gir1.2-gtk-3.0 is also present.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]
