Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

Looks like gwibber service requires gwibber package:
Python 2.6.5rc2 (r265rc2:78822, Mar 11 2010, 20:47:08)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gwibber.lib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/lib/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from gwibber import util
ImportError: cannot import name util

What steps did you follow to reproduce this issue? I have checked gwibber-service package and in fact, does not require gwibber package to run, unique restriction is that gwibber cannot be 2.29.1 (or less) because could cause conflicts. Thanks!

1. Install gwibber-service via synaptic on Lucid
2. try to run app of jaq
3. run python shell with the above
4. install gwibber package via synaptic
5. try the python example again - no exception this time
6. ....
7. profit!

(Sorry, I really couldn't help myself with steps 6. and 7. no offence!)

Since this report has a few weeks here without activity, is this issue still affecting you running latest version of gwibber in your system? Thanks!

It's still there, but as it seems that I'm the only one with this issue we can close it - I can live with that

Is this bug about that if you install gwibber-service from synaptic its useless unless gwibber is not installed? maybe there is a packaging fault?

Maybe gwibber-service package should add in their debian/control file a line like this for avoid this issue:
...
Depends: gwibber,
       python-dbus,
        python-gtk2,
        python-gconf,
        python-egenix-mxdatetime,
        python-simplejson,
        python-webkit,
        librsvg2-2,
        librsvg2-common,
        python-imaging,
        python-xdg,
        python-mako,
        python-gtkspell,
        ...

gwibber-service shouldn't depend on gwibber, we don't want circular depends and it would completely defeat the purpose of splitting the package. This is really just a bug in the public library gwibber-service provides, it shouldn't import from util there. I will fix that.
