Package: python3-blockdev
Version: 2.20-7+deb10u1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
What's need to be done:
- Play arround with the BlockDev API within python
What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
- Do a simple apt install python3-blockdev and install with deps
- Run this piece of code with the offcial pyobject docs as reference
- <https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html>
=== Python Source ===
import gi
from gi import Repository
version = Repository.get_default().enumerate_versions("BlockDev")
gi.require_version("BlockDev", version[0] if version else "2.0")
from gi.repository import BlockDev
print(BlockDev.__name__)
===========================
What was the outcome of this action?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 129, in
require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Blockdev not available
* What outcome did you expect instead?
gi.repository.BlockDev to stdout
* Found Workarround:
Run apt install gir1.2-blockdev-2.0 install with deps and rerun the python
snippet
* Proposed Solution:
Make python3-blockdev depends on gir1.2-blockdev-2.0 OR maka a reference in
suggested package
