Public bug reported: Since python-protobuf 3.0.0 landed in Ubuntu all programs using python- axolotl fail with "TypeError: Descriptors should not be created directly, but only retrieved from their parent.".
The problem resides in python-axolotl, which is outdated and doesn't add the _pb2 suffix to filenames as required by the new protobuf version. This issue has already been reported upstream: https://github.com/tgalal/python-axolotl/issues/14 Unfortunately the original dev seems to be on a hiatus. The python-axolotl package in Debian unstable (0.1.35-1) already provides a patch and is working good. Could you please updated the Ubuntu's package? ** Affects: python-axolotl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637958 Title: Use _pb2 suffix in protobuf's generated files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-axolotl/+bug/1637958/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
