emerge --info

After installing paperworks, the program does not start due to missing dependencies. This are:

x11-libs/libnotify
aspell with the installed languages
tesseract with the training useflag
x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic

After installing the packages paperwork at least can be started.

Missing dependencies can be checked using "paperwork-shell chkdeps paperwork"

paperwork-1.2.ebuild

I attach an ebuild file which should include all the missing dependencies.

Thanks for your report. When you make changes to an ebuild, please attach a unified diff against the latest version in tree, so your changes can be easily reviewed.

Hi, thanks for the report! What was the exact error?

I am asking because the chkdeps upstream script is not perfect (and I think some may be outdated too) and these do not look necessary for us:
* tesseract is pulled in by pyocr, AFAIK paperwork itself does not use it directly anymore. Also in theory cuneiform should work too (untested). And here I do not have the training USE-flag
* aspell: one of the possible backends for enchant, the spell-checking wrapper that handles pulling aspell/pspell/... paperwork itself does not need it (and only uses it for enhancing orientation detection)
* gnome-icon-theme-symbolic: other themes have the needed -symbolic variants (adwaita at least). Also it does not block startup

And of course I just saw you mentioning libnotify after hitting the submit button... Hmm this one could be needed indeed, I will check that.

I added 1.2.2 with this missing dependency, can you test and confirm this was this fixes paperwork startup on your system? Thanks

[Comment 7 Sven Hesse 2017-11-28 19:02:51 UTC]

dev-python/pyxdg is also missing in the dependencies. At least paperworks dies with a Python error on my system without.

[Comment 8 Bernard Cafarelli 2018-01-12 17:57:26 UTC]

Thanks added that one last missing bit (for paperwork shell), fixed in current ebuild

Marking this as fixed since, hopefullly everything is in now!
