Hardy totem should depend on python-gdata

python-gdata is currently in universe, so it would be appropriate to first file a Main Inclusion Request against python-data, as otherwise totem would be uninstallable from the shipped CDs (which would be less good than having youtube broken).

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess for details on how to write a Main inclusion report.

Had to file two inclusion reports. See bug #178285 and bug #178295

So the Youtube plugin requires python-gdata and its dependencies. python-gdata is not in main. Alternative to the suggestions thus far, would it be possible for Totem to promt a useful error. Such an error could explain that python-gdata is required and would the user like the package to be installed if absent?

I note that a number of admin tools install packages when required to accomplish a task. First that comes to mind is ntp auto-time-sync. So could totem share/copy some code or something?

could the totem package at least recommend python-gdata so that users looking in synaptic can see what the probable missing package is

Put in python-gdata by default or remove the YouTube plugin to Universe. Don't ship this broken, please.

confirming as per the MIR bugs and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReportPythonGdata

This is currently waiting on a fix for bug #178295, which is a packaging bug.

Bug #178285 is waiting on a fix to #178295. This bug is waiting for both.

Does the plugin work correctly for those who tried it?

Bug #201845 is the bug requesting the fix to python-gdata.

Yes, the plugin works fine with python-gdata installed.

Not to me.

The search for videos goes correctly, but watching them fails with lots
of messages in terminal, most related to gnomevfs.

(totem:7246): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Cannot load module
`/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libmapping.so' (/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libmapping.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

The plugin works fine for me with python-gdata installed (Hardy alpha 6)

the plugin doesn't work correctly there neither, searching for ubuntu lists lot of video but none of those is read correctly

It doesn't work too good here either, search works ok, but playing doesn't.

It works for _some_ videos... and for some not.
Incidently, IIRC, YouTube admitted that not all videos are ready for iPhone usage.

Does the plugin use the same interface?

I can confirm this bug. The following console output clued me in that python-gdata is missing:

$ totem
** (totem:20163): DEBUG: Init of Python module
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/totem/plugins/youtube/youtube.py", line 3, in <module>
    import gdata.service
ImportError: No module named gdata.service

** (totem:20163): WARNING **: Could not load plugin youtube

** (totem:20163): WARNING **: Error, impossible to activate plugin 'YouTube browser'

I can confirm this bug too.

same for me. Installing python-gdata it's fixed.

This bug was fixed in the package totem - 2.22.0-0ubuntu3

---------------
totem (2.22.0-0ubuntu3) hardy; urgency=low

  * debian/control.in:
    - list new totem-plugins-extra which contains extra plugins which are not
      installed by default
    - totem-plugins depends on python-gdata so it gets installed by default
      (lp: #178209)
