[Pkg-salt-team] Bug#777665: salt-common: salt-call needs python-msgpack to run

[Benjamin Drung]

Package: salt-common
Version: 2014.1.13+ds-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

salt-common contains the salt-call binary which is useful in itself, but it
needs to depend on python-msgpack or otherwise salt-call will fail to run. You
can reproduce it in a minimal chroot by running:

# apt-get install --no-install-recommends salt-common
# salt-call --local state.highstate
[CRITICAL] Unable to import msgpack or msgpack_pure python modules
WARNING: '/etc/salt' directory does not exist.
[ERROR   ] Could not cache minion ID: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/salt/minion_id'
