[Bug 1071905] Re: ERROR: The launchpadlib Python module is not installed.

[Martin Pitt]

It's rather that our Python maintainers/foundations team don't want
python2 dependencies on the default install. As we install apport by
default, it can only depend on python3 stuff, so Barry asked me to make
the python2 bits optional. And indeed launchpadlib is not needed for
most apport operations (its main purpose is to file bugs), only if you
invoke it as apport-collect. So the default install with python3 is
still mostly fine.

  3) What is expected to happen via a terminal:
  cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1071905/+attachment/3414934/+files/libreoffice.apport && ubuntu-bug -c libreoffice.apport -u 1071059

  and an apport collection is attached to bug 1071059.

  4) What happens instead is one gets in a terminal:
  ubuntu-bug -c libreoffice.apport -u 1071059
  ERROR: The launchpadlib Python module is not installed. This functionality is not available.

  This is despite how what seems to be the appropriate packages noted
  above are already installed.

  $ ubuntu-bug -c bug.apport -u 1071059
  ERROR: The launchpadlib Python module is not installed. This functionality is not available.

  ubuntu-bug wants the launchpadlib Python module, but python-
  launchpadlib is installed.

  PS: ubuntu-bug should tell the user how to fix the error. For example
  add: "Please install python-launchpadlib."
