Package: syncthing-gtk
Version: 0.9.4.4+ds+git20221205+12a9702d29ab-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: rmoe...@students.uni-mainz.de
Dear Maintainer,
perhaps there is a problem with syncthing-gtk.
"What led up to the situation?"
I installed Debian Bookworm with Xfce a few days ago using the graphical installer from the ISO file that I found at the debian.org front page.
Today I installed syncthing-gtk and tried to run it. It showed a blank window.
When I ran it on the terminal, it printed a Python error message indicating that it was repeatedly trying to invoke the killall command, which was unavailable.
tools.py:330:p = Popen(["killall", "-u", os.environ["USER"]
"What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?"
Then, I installed the psmisc package, because psmisc contains killall.
"What was the outcome of this action?"
The next time I ran syncthing-gtk, it worked fine and as expected.
"What outcome did you expect instead?"
In my opinion, syncthing-gtk should have installed psmisc as a dependency.
Kind regards
Roman
