Description of problem: I installed gajim through dnf and then used the built-in plugin manager to install the omemo plugin. Apparently this plugin depends on the axolotl python library which is not available in fedora (as far as I can see). When trying to install the OMEMO plugin, the installation doesn't seem to go through (the plugin doesn't appear in the list of installed plugins) but there was no error message and gajim continues to work correctly. After quitting gajim, it won't start anymore because of the missing dependency. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.16.5-3 How reproducible: reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gajim 2. Click on Edit > Plugins 3. Click on tab Available 4. Check the box next to OMEMO and click "Install/Upgrade" 5. Once the installation completes, quite gajim (note: it's not enough to close the roster windows) and try to restart it. Actual results: Gajim doesn't start Expected results: Gajim starts Additional info: If I try to start it from a terminal, it gives me the following traceback (which is how I discovered what was the missing dependency): Traceback (most recent call last): File "gajim.py", line 533, in <module> interface.run() File "/usr/share/gajim/src/gui_interface.py", line 2733, in run gajim.plugin_manager = plugins.PluginManager() File "/usr/share/gajim/src/plugins/helpers.py", line 129, in __call__ cls.instance=super(Singleton, cls).__call__(*args,**kw) File "/usr/share/gajim/src/plugins/pluginmanager.py", line 104, in __init__ pc = PluginManager.scan_dir_for_plugins(path) File "/usr/share/gajim/src/plugins/helpers.py", line 114, in wrapper result = f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/gajim/src/plugins/pluginmanager.py", line 476, in scan_dir_for_plugins if not issubclass(module_attr, GajimPlugin) or \ File "/usr/share/gajim/src/common/demandimport.py", line 86, in __getattribute__ self._load() File "/usr/share/gajim/src/common/demandimport.py", line 58, in _load mod = _origimport(head, globals, locals) ImportError: No module named axolotl
If anyone has the same issue, a workaround is to manually delete the omemo plugin which is actually installed despite what the plugin manager says. The following worked for me: rm -rf ~/.local/share/gajim/plugins/omemo
Gajim 0.16.6 has a few fixes that should make it more resistant to tracebacks from plugins. Here's a build for F24: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=806534
And a submitted update: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/gajim-0.16.6-1.fc24
gajim-0.16.6-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

FYI: I created review requests for the axolotl stuff, so hopefully we can use OMEMO soon (works fine here): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1382332 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1382333
gajim-0.16.6-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Thanks for the quick response! I just updated from the stable repository and it seems that the problem is still there: I still cannot start gajim after having installed OMEMO.
Does it still produce a traceback in the terminal? Does it look different from before? Please paste it here.
Ignore comment #8. I reproduced it now too.
In Gajim 0.16.7 upstream finally dropped the 'demandimport' module. This bug should not longer appear with that version.
