Package: reportbug
Version: 7.1.3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
earlier this day, when I wanted to start reportbug, it immediately crashed with
the following output:
***
pc@debian:$ reportbug
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2234, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1084, in main
if newui.initialize():
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk2_ui.py", line 1778, in
initialize
gi.require_version('Vte', '2.91')
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 118, in
require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Vte not available
pc@debian:$
***
I solved this by installing gir1.2-vte-2.91, which reportbug does not depend
on, but only suggest.
Thereafter, reportbug started, and I got to the point where I could enter the
subject of the bugreport. At this point, reportbug crashed again, with a bunch
of identical error messages:
***
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'
***
After installing python3-gi-cairo, these errors disappeared, and I am now using
reportbug to report this bug of reportbug. :-)
Could you, please, add/raise dependencies for gir1.2-vte-2.91 and python3-gi-
cairo so the program will work out of the box again?
With best regards
Andreas
