Package: python-torctl Version: 20130920git-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I came across the issue when invoking `arm' (package: tor-arm). The program refused from starting, stating: `Arm requires TorCtl to run, but it's unavailable. Would you like to install it? (y/n):' Some days ago, `arm' worked as expected, so I guess there has been an update causing the issue. I have tried to purge and re-install tor-arm as well as python-torctl without any success. Trying to import the module `TorCtl' in python directly fails even (module not found). Analyzing the problem I found out, that the files for `TorCtl' are present in /usr/share/pyshared/TorCtl, however there was no link in any of the directories listed in the python variable `sys.path' as there were for different python modules. My workaround of the problem was to place a symbolic link `TorCtl' in `/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages' pointing to the directory `/usr/share/pyshared/TorCtl'. So, I can import `TorCtl' in python as well as invoke `arm' successfully. Thank you for your efforts!
