Bug#980219: flowblade: Fails to start without python3-distutils
Package: flowblade
Version: 2.6-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When attempting to run flowblade it fails with the following output:
$ flowblade
FLOWBLADE MOVIE EDITOR 2.6
--------------------------
Launch script dir: /usr/bin
Running from installation...
modules path: /usr/share/flowblade/Flowblade
MLT found, version: 6.24.0
Failed to import module app.py to launch Flowblade!
ERROR: cannot import name 'dir_util' from 'distutils'
(/usr/lib/python3.9/distutils/__init__.py)
Installation was assumed to be at: /usr/share/flowblade/Flowblade
Manually installing python3-distutils seems to resolve the issue, and
flowblade
starts as expected. I see that python3-distutils is listed as a build
dependency
but it looks like it needs to be a dependency for the binary package as
well.
