quickly package fails on new Karmic installation - debchange missing

Thanks for testing and using quickly.

Right, python-gtk2 is not installed in Kubuntu (an ubuntu-project is a project using GTK used by GNOME/XFCE/... and QT is the library used by KDE).

So, we'll add a dependency on python-gtk2 in next release.

As a workaround, you can install python-gtk2 and then spawning quickly package again.

But this is Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) and python-gtk is installed, but "quickly package" fails with the response above.

I don't know why you don't have python-gtk2 installed so.

BTW, the workaround it the same, install python-gtk2 on your system.

But I DO have python-gtk2 installed!!! and always have

Ok, so, if you have it and it seems to don't detect it (we have the corresponding module gtk ... python-gtk2, but we get an OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory), this is a distutils-extra package bug. I add the corresponding task to this package as pitti should have a clearer view.

I guess I got it, can you please try to install devscripts on your system, please?

That certainly overcame the original problem, now there is this problem
(quite possibly my fault for editing changelog):

yeah, you apparently edited the changelog manually.

Try to remove all debian/ directory and run quickly package again.

Success!!! worked perfectly. Thank you.

Kim

Yeah \o/

Ok, the only issue was on devscript not being there so. I guess we must enhance distutils-extra to print a better error message about installing devscript.

Thanks for using Quickly. Do not hesitate to give any other inputs :)

Thanks Elliot, merged your branch into trunk (r160).

This bug was fixed in the package python-distutils-extra - 2.17

  * python-mkdebian:
    - Use OptionParser for argv processing.
    - Add --changelog option to specify changelog message (can be used more
      than once for different tasks)
    - Add --dependency option to add a manual debian package dependency
      (can be used more than once for each package)

  [ Elliot Murphy ]
  * python-mkdebian:
    - Change from python-central to python-support for consistency with
      debian python packaging team preference.
    - Update to Standards-Version: 3.8.3
    - Fix a typo that caused additional_dependencies defaulting to None
      instead of [].
    - If debchange is not available, give a more friendly error message.
