[Python-apps-team] Bug#824348: missing dependencies

[Antoine Beaupré]

Package: planet-venus
Version: 0~git9de2109-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

If I follow the instructions on the Debian wiki to setup Planet, I get
this error:

INFO:planet.runner:Loading cached data
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/planet", line 158, in <module>
    splice.apply(doc.toxml('utf-8'))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/planet/splice.py", line 142, in apply
    output_file = shell.run(template_file, doc)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/planet/shell/__init__.py", line 66, in run
    module.run(template_resolved, doc, output_file, options)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/planet/shell/dj.py", line 21, in run
    from django.conf import settings
ImportError: No module named django.conf

It seems that Django is a hard runtime dependency of planet Venus, or
at least the way it is setup on Debian Planet. It is merely a
"Suggests" in the control file, I recomment moving it to Depends or at
least Recommends. I am not sure how this is expected to work without
the template parser, really...

Trivial patch:
