Description radu.fotescu 2023-03-31 19:44:55 UTC
Description of problem:
Pitivi requires libpeas to run, but this hard dependency is not listed in pitivi.spec.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pitivi-2022.06.0-3.fc37.

How reproducible:
Always on a 'clean' system, i.e. if libpeas is not installed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install `pitivi` on a system on which `libpeas` is not installed.
2. Run `pitivi` at the CLI (because it will refuse to start anyway).

Actual results:
$ pitivi
ERROR - The following hard dependencies are unmet:
==================================================
- Peas not found on the system
Missing soft dependency:
... (irrelevant list of soft dependencies)

Expected results:
Pitivi should just run.


Additional info:
To make `pitivi` run, this is necessary and sufficient:
sudo dnf install -y libpeas
In my case, it installed libpeas-0:1.34.0-1.fc37.x86_64

The actual fix would involve adding to pitivi.spec such a line:
Requires:	libpeas

Side note: I failed to understand how nobody reported this bug, as `libpeas` is a dependency since at least 2020, when a similar bug has been reported in Arch:
FS#68478 - pitivi : libpeas missing from depencies (sic!)

My guess is that you're using a desktop environment other than GNOME, so nothing else pulled it in. I'll get an update out fixing this. Thanks!

Sorry for not having mentioned it: Fedora KDE spin, with added GTK-based apps that only installed what was required, not the GNOME per se.
Thanks!
