Description Mikuláš Patočka 2015-12-18 17:16:48 UTC

Description of problem:
I am frequently getting emails that abrt can't find module argparse. It seems that the abrt package lacks some required dependencies.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt 2.6.8 34.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
On each boot it sends email with "ImportError: No module named argparse"

Actual results:

Expected results:
abrt should have proper dependencies specified in the rpm file, so that all modules it depends on are automatically installed.
