Bug 612706 – =net-misc/electrum-2.8.0 requires pyaes

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Conrad 2017-03-15 11:37:53 UTC]

electrum 2.8.0 requires pyaes but neither is this package pulled in by the ebuild nor does it seem to be in portage at all.

expected behavior: electrum starts

observed behavior: error message on console "Error: No module named pyaes. Try 'sudo pip install <module-name>'", electrum does not start

steps to reproduce:
1. emerge electrum
2. try to start electrum in a clean python environment

Yeah. Also it doesn't seem to use slowaes anymore.

Thanks for testing.  I'll fix this later today.  Do you know off hand if pyaes depends on some USE flag, or is it a hard dependence?

[Comment 3 Conrad 2017-03-18 13:18:24 UTC]

pyaes is replacing slowaes and is required. See https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/commit/e1515743cdc52a068798b86ef4529def2b802ad8

Okay, this should be fixed in =net-misc/electrum-2.8.0-r1.  Can you please test and reopen the bug if this still needs more work.

Works for me, thank you!
