Installation Issue with fresh raspbian buster

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Hi gilsdav,

Thansk for your very convenient switcher !

I was simplifying my setup recently and tried to install snapswitcher on a fresh raspbian os buster lite.
Python 2.7 is not installed anymore and is not maintained so when installing with dpkg, an error is raised :

pi@raspberry:~` $ sudo dpkg -i ./snapclient-switcher-0.2.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package snapclient-switcher.
(Reading database ... 40949 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack ./snapclient-switcher-0.2.deb ...
Unpacking snapclient-switcher (0.2) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of snapclient-switcher:
 snapclient-switcher depends on python (>= 2.7.9-1); however:
  Package python is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package snapclient-switcher (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 snapclient-switcher

When installing with apt, dependencies requests isntalling python2.7 packages and remove python-is-python3 package.

Would you be able to modify snapclient-switcher so that it is compatible python3 ? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks for your help !

Matt
