Missing dependency on python-gobject

[Alessio Treglia]

Binary package hint: python-gudev

On a minimalistic system, while trying to import gudev, an ImportError is raised:

>>> import gudev
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: 'No module named gobject')

Adding a dependency on pythob-gobject would solve this.

Attaching a patch for Maverick.

...and now a patch for Lucid.

This doesn't seem to be a major issue for an SRU to me. It doesn't affect default installations, has an easy workaround, and does not cause data loss. I won't reject it when it gets uploaded, just mentioning that minor issues like that might not be the most effective thing to spend time on.

Maverick has long since stopped to receive any updates. Marking the Maverick task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
