Description of problem: Some inkscape effects use Numerical Python, but the inkscape RPM does not claim to require numpy. Without numpy installed, some effects fail with an error message. With numpy installed, the effects work properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): inkscape-0.45.1-1.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start inkscape. 1. Select Effects > Modify Path > Perspective. Actual results: An error dialog pops up, containing a Python traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/perspective.py", line 23, in <module> from numpy import * ImportError: No module named numpy Expected results: The Perspective effect should run.
Additionally, the Perspective effect also requires PyXML, so that should also be listed as a requirement.
Will be in inkscape-0.45.1-4. I could not find any other missing Requires for python modules. I was under impression that something like find-requires also works for python modules.
Though this solves the issue for now, I'd rather prefer not adding dependencies. I wonder if it is possible to reporte a module failure somehow more gracefully to the user, so that he knows which package to install.
