Package: xonsh
Version: 0.9.22+dfsg-1
Severity: important
TLDR; Add a dependency on at least version 3.0.7-1 of python3-prompt-toolkit.
Dear Maintainer,
Thank you very much for maintaining the cool
looking package named "xonsh".
I've often wanted to combine python's array math
with shell pipes, like APL and jsoftware.
So I tried installing the xonsh package, and
running it.
$ ~ xonsh
Traceback (most recent call last):

Xonsh encountered an issue during launch
Failback to /bin/bash
As you can see, it failed.
Next, I checked which package contains a file
xonsh complained about.
$ apt-file search
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/prompt_toolkit/key_binding/bindings/emacs.py
python3-prompt-toolkit:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/prompt_toolkit/key_binding/bindings/emacs.py
Next, I checked if a newer version of the python3-prompt-toolkit was available.
$ apt-cache policy python3-prompt-toolkit
[...]
Installed: 2.0.10-2
Candidate: 3.0.7-1
[...]
Next, I upgraded python3-prompt-toolkit from
version 2.0.10-2 to 3.0.7-1.
root$ aptitude install python3-prompt-toolkit
Then I tried running xonsh again.
$ xonsh
~ Crustaceanly Yours ~
It worked!
So, it seems to me that Debian's fine xonsh
package might be improved by adding a dependency
for at least version 3.0.7-1 of the
python3-prompt-toolkit package.
So it is said.
So it is done.
Correct package dependencies, are....
(wait for it...)
NUMBER ONE!
;-)
So,
Kingsley
