[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#817275: acme-tiny: missing dependency on python3-pkg-resources (ImportError: No module named 'pkg_resources')

[Axel Beckert]

Package: acme-tiny
Version: 20151229-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

acme-tiny only depends on openssl and python3, but actually seems to
need at least one more package: If python3-pkg-resources is not
installed, acme-tiny bails out as follows:

$ acme-tiny
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/acme-tiny", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named 'pkg_resources'
$

Installing python3-pkg-resources solves the issue.

I noticed this issue initially in my acme-tiny backport to Debian 7
Wheezy with Python 3.2, but could also reproduce it on Debian Sid with
Python 3.5, so it seems independent of the used Python version.
