(SOLVED) VSIDO installs failing due to ImportError: No module named 'debconf'

[VastOne]

Have built new ISO's and the Trios installer is failing with the following error

Code Select Expand

ImportError: No module named 'debconf'

I have tested the old installer (which also uses debconf) and it worked fine

@filip Do know of this issue?  I'll try to rebuild the installer to see if that resolves the issue

I´m away from any PC running Debian ( including my own ), so going blind here.

There was a recent split of debconf package into Py2 & Py3 versions ( changelog ) so it´s most likely related to that.
Either the module was renamed ( thus the "import" fails ), or the package itself is not installed.

Hopefully:

apt install python-debconf... will fix the issue.

Hey filip...

On the first pass that seems to be the fix... testing the rest now

Thanks for the heads up!

Cheers!

The solution to this was installing python-debconf

The split broke python3-debconf which had already been installed and used since the beginning of VSIDO

Why the dev would not take into account both needs and make one or both a dependency is beyond me...

Laziness?

Thanks again to filip for the help

Well, for a change, I guess it was ´bout time for an easy fix...

No idea, though the split seems uneccessary to me. After all, both packages install the very same "debconf.py" ( it´s compatible with both Py´s ), just to different locations...
Perhaps they wanted to drop Python dependencies from "debconf" package... 

You´re welcome, anytime!
