Hi,

mbget won't work w.o. python-musicbrainz (since it imports it). And OTOH
nothing within lastfmsubmitd directly imports ctypes, so the current
recommends is right.

The problem however is, that libmusicbrainz-2.1 doesn't build python-
musicbrainz any longer, and thus this package is not available any more.
And now guess why it has been dropped: Because the package is in main,
and ctypes (which python-musicbrainz would require to work) is in
universe and you cannot have dependencies from main on universe
packages.

This is a little bit of an awkward situation, and I don't see any good
way of fixing this bug within lastfmsubmitd.

-> also affects libmusicbrainz-2.1

Cheers,
   Stefan.

** Changed in: lastfmsubmitd (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed

** Description changed:

- Version 0.32.1-1 of lastfmsubmitd recommends python-musicbrainz which is not 
available for edgy from all (main, universe, multiverse, restricted) ubuntu 
repositories.
- Also, mbget tools doesn't work without python module ctypes and exit with 
error message "import: No module named ctypes". After installing python-ctypes 
package mbget begins to work. It's need to mark python-ctypes at least as 
recommended package for lastfmsubmitd.
+ The programs 
+ * mbfind
+ * mbget
+ * mbsubmit
+ 
+ of lastfmsubmitd need python-musicbrainz to work, however this package
+ was dropped from libmusicbrainz-2.1

-- 
lastfmsubmitd package must recommend python-ctypes and need not recommend 
python-musicbrainz
