[Python-apps-team] Bug#745548: mugshot seems to require accountservice without depending on it

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: mugshot
Version: 0.2.3-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I just installed mugshot on a Debian sid with Xfce, and it doesn't seem
to work at all:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mugshot", line 35, in <module>

    None)
gi._glib.GError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files
----

Looking at the stacktrace, it seems to require AccountService, which is
not installed here (I don't want it), but since the package doesn't
Depends on it (nor Recommends it), I assume there's a bug somewhere.
