Description Doug Laidlaw 2012-02-22 01:08:49 CET

Description of problem:

Opened MCC; went to Hardware then Manage Printers.  Window opened briefly then crashed with "exited abnormally." Starting MCC in a Konsole, found that python-curl was not installed.  Installed the package and was able to configure my printer and print a test page.  This was just after I had installed today's upgrade of CUPS and related packages.

How reproducible:     See above; no longer reproducible.

I can confirm the problem. Installing python-curl package resolves it. I think it is only a missing dependency to drakconf.

Hello, I guess you speak about system-config-printer ?

Comment 4 Tamás Hajdu 2012-02-23 16:08:21 CET

Maybe to system-config-printer also good, but as far as I know the mageia control center is in drakconf package. May drakconf should depend on system-config-printer, but this seems to be a bad solution. MCC is "always" installed, and I think without this package it will show the printer settings and it won't start... That's why I think it should be the dependency of MCC, so drakconf package.

And it also applies to 64 bit systems...

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2012-02-23 16:36:31 CET

well if you remove python-curl
drakconf works right ? (since it's perl it should)
and systeme-config-printer doesn't ? (since it's python) 

So there is no need to grow drakconf more. (some user don't need the printer part)

Then mcc needs a new feature to check whether python-curl is installed, if anyone tries to setup printing.

In mcc, it will already install system-config-printer, so just
making python-curl a requires for system-config-printer should
fix the problem.

Comment 10 Doug Laidlaw 2012-02-24 03:19:14 CET

The way I see it, and it is probably the same thing: mcc calls system-config-printer and system-config-printer brings in whatever its dependencies are.  mcc doesn't need to concern itself with derived dependencies.  But I am not techy enough; there may be some other reason.

Comment 11 Doug Laidlaw 2012-02-24 03:41:12 CET

If system-config-printer ever stops needing python-curl, you don't want mcc insisting that it be installed anyway.  That is entirely a matter for system-config-printer.

Comment 12 Tamás Hajdu 2012-02-24 07:56:11 CET

yes you are right. It's a missing dependency in system-config-printer package.

just fixed
