Solaar dependency

Quelijah

So I tried to install "solaar" in the software center, and everything install without any problem; however, when I tried to open "solaar", it didn't work. The app just didn't open. So I tried to use the terminal, and it turned out that I need a specific dependency "psutil". So I went to the software center and downloaded it. However, same thing happened again and it still asked me for "psutil". I went back into the software center and downloaded "python-psutil". Finally it worked.

So I just wanted to let the developers know about this so maybe they could package "python-psutil" together with "solaar" so people don't have to go through this.

Quelijah Learn to use eopkg via the CLI for package installation, removal, and upgrades. This probably would not have happened had you used eopkg via the CLI. Use the Software Center to look for programs. To get help with eopkg, open a terminal and enter eopkg -h or eopkg --help. I'll give you a few of probably the most often used eopkg commands:

sudo eopkg up -n performs a dry run system upgrade so you can see what will happen
sudo eopkg up perform an actual system upgrade
sudo eopkg it <pkg name> to install a single package
sudo eopkg it <pkg name> <pkg name> ... to install multiple packages

@chax Maybe you could take a look at this?

Staudey Not only python-psutil but I think should be added also pyyaml and python-xlib.

Installed solaar in python environment and pip list report these pacakges:

Package     Version
----------- -------
pip         21.1.1
psutil      5.8.0
python-xlib 0.29
pyudev      0.22.0
PyYAML      5.4.1
setuptools  56.2.0
six         1.16.0
solaar      1.0.6
wheel       0.36.2

So the missing packages are:

psutil      5.8.0
python-xlib 0.29
PyYAML      5.4.1

downhill I don't see how using eopkg CLI instead of the Software Center would've prevented anything in this case.
