gir1.0-syncdaemon-1.0 should depend on gir1.0-dbus-1.0

hmm, I don't understand why it depends on DBus introspection, there's nothing DBus-related exposed in the API, it's just an internal dependency, which should already be taken care of by the dependencies in libsyncdaemon package

Accepted ubuntuone-client into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

This bug doesn't include a test case for SRU verification.

>>> from gi.repository import SyncDaemon

This looks like python, but running this command returns the following error for me:

>>> from gi.repository import SyncDaemon
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named gi.repository

How can we verify this fix?

Steve, you need to install gir1.0-syncdaemon-1.0, which I think should pull all the needed dependencies

Er, no, I obviously installed gir1.0-syncdaemon-1.0 to test this, as that's the very package being verified here. Installing this package doesn't pull anything that exposes a 'gi.repository' to python, so I don't know how to test this in a pristine environment.

In any case, I've just checked the dependencies of the gir1.0-syncdaemon-1.0 package in maverick-proposed, and it has *no* Depends: line at all (neither does the previous version). So given the subject of this bug report, I'm going to mark this SRU verification-failed.

Steve: looking at the branch that was merged to fix this, it seems as though the dependency on dbus in the gir was removed. As a result, adding the depend in the package is no longer necessary. To test the import from python, you'll need to install python-gobject. As gobject-introspection is meant to be language independent, having a dependency on that from the package that provides the .gir files, is wrong.

I guess there is no clear policy on such things in Debian. Perhaps there needs to be some sort of meta dependency on a "gir-parser" or something, which python-gobject, and whatever else, can all provide.

Hi Rodney,

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I understood that the gir files were language-independent and shouldn't depend on whatever python package provides gi.repository... I just couldn't figure out what provided gi.repository so I could manually test :)

After installing python-gobject and gir1.0-syncdaemon-1.0, without gir1.0-dbus-1.0, I'm able to confirm that this import fails with the maverick-updates version of the package and succeeds with the maverick-proposed version. Flipping to verification-done.

Please fix this (and the other bugs of this SRU) in natty first, so that this can progress to -updates.

Martin, the bugs in this SRU of ubuntuone-client are all fixed in natty. I've gone through and added the targets for them, and set their statuses to Fix Released.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntuone-client - 1.4.5-0ubuntu1
