Bug Description

Binary package hint: pychess

installed pychess from repos, fails to run when selected from the menu.

running from terminal gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/pychess", line 87, in <module>
    import pychess.Main
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pychess/Main.py", line 19, in <module>
    from pychess.widgets import newGameDialog
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pychess/widgets/newGameDialog.py", line 11, in <module>
    from gtksourceview2 import *
ImportError: No module named gtksourceview2

I installed the package 'python-gtksourceview2' from repos and now pychess will launch. this should be a dependency?

I think it actually needs python-gnome2-desktop which will provide libgtksourceview. Debian has made this change as well. (Linking Debian report).

You think it needs or you've tested and that solves the problem?

The game starts with python-gnome2-desktop, and does not without it.

Thanks for testing Jonathan. Additionally, the linked Debian bug resolves the same Traceback by adding python-gnome2-desktop.

Also, this is found in lines 8-11 of /pychess-0.8.1/lib/pychess/widgets/newGameDialog.py

try:
    from gtksourceview import *
except ImportError:
    from gtksourceview2 import *

So it doesn't necessarily need gtksourceview2. It looks for gtksourceview first, which is provided by python-gnome2-desktop. I added that in order to stay closer to Debian.

Ack from motu-release for upload then. Subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors if
