[Python-apps-team] Bug#918641: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'cheroot' distribution was not found and is required by fava

[Stefano Zacchiroli]

Package: python3-fava
Version: 1.9-3
Severity: serious

As per subject, running fava fails with the following traceback:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/fava", line 6, in <module>
      from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3126, in <module>

      raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
  pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'cheroot' distribution was not found and is required by fava

this should ideally be fixed by having cheroot ship an egg-info dir, but it's
being filed against fava for now to avoid testing migration.
