Package: xdot
Version: 0.9-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
xdot cannot read from stdin.
This is unfortunately how I usually use xdot..
I usually do like:
debtree ... | xdot -
It fails like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/xdot", line 4, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/__main__.py", line 75, in main
win.set_dotcode(sys.stdin.read())
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/window.py", line 598, in
set_dotcode
if self.dotwidget.set_dotcode(dotcode, filename):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/window.py", line 142, in
set_dotcode
if self._set_dotcode(dotcode, filename):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/window.py", line 128, in
_set_dotcode
assert isinstance(dotcode, bytes)
AssertionError
Luckily, the fix is easy, and already done upstream:
https://github.com/jrfonseca/xdot.py/commit/fc02ef4940a8894472fafba47b21e0df3b3c6315
Just change one line with a patch:
