** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + * xdot fails to start on Ubuntu 24.04, without python3-setuptools + installed. + + [ Test Plan ] + + * Run xdot from a terminal. + + * If it fails to start, you've hit this bug. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * We are adding a dependency to the package. + + * This is a leaf package, with a small userbase. + + [ Other Info ] + + * While preparing the SRU, we found a second patch was necessary, to be able to test in a pristine environment, without GTK settings. + * Both patches originate upstream where they have not seen regressions. + + [ Original Bug Report ] + On ubuntu 24.04 the version of python3 is currently 3.12.3. xdot 1.3 relies on distutils which was removed in python 3.12, resulting in breakage. Running xdot results in the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): - File "/usr/bin/xdot", line 2, in <module> - from xdot.__main__ import main - File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/__main__.py", line 22, in <module> - from .ui.window import DotWindow, Gtk - File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/__init__.py", line 11, in <module> - from .window import DotWidget, DotWindow - File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/window.py", line 42, in <module> - from ._xdotparser import XDotParser - File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/_xdotparser.py", line 21, in <module> - from distutils.version import LooseVersion + File "/usr/bin/xdot", line 2, in <module> + from xdot.__main__ import main + File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/__main__.py", line 22, in <module> + from .ui.window import DotWindow, Gtk + File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/__init__.py", line 11, in <module> + from .window import DotWidget, DotWindow + File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/window.py", line 42, in <module> + from ._xdotparser import XDotParser + File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/xdot/ui/_xdotparser.py", line 21, in <module> + from distutils.version import LooseVersion ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' See also the upstream issue: https://github.com/jrfonseca/xdot.py/issues/125 Updating xdot to version 1.4 should ifx this.
