[Bug 1233926] Re: usb-creator-gtk crashes on launch (ImportError; GUdev)

I ran into the same issue on Xubuntu 12.04
The workaround was to manually install the dependencies first (not sure why they weren't picked up automatically)

sudo apt-get install usb-creator-common gir1.2-gudev-1.0  usb-creator-
gtk

Title:
  usb-creator-gtk crashes on launch (ImportError; GUdev)

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  usb-creator-gtk crashes on launch (ImportError)
  I am running the Lubuntu 13.04 liveCD (amd64), and I wanted to make a USB version of the liveCD to troubleshoot one of my systems. Upon installing the package "usb-creator-gtk" from Synaptic Package Manager, and executing the command "usb-creator-gtk" in the terminal, I get the following output:

  lubuntu at lubuntu:~$ usb-creator-gtk
  ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for GUdev
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/usb-creator-gtk", line 30, in <module>
      from usbcreator.backends.fastboot import FastbootBackend
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/usbcreator/backends/fastboot/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
      from usbcreator.backends.fastboot.backend import FastbootBackend
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/usbcreator/backends/fastboot/backend.py", line 3, in <module>
      from gi.repository import GUdev
  ImportError: cannot import name GUdev

  I then tried searching for a package "GUdev" in Synaptic, and
  installed python-gudev, but the problem still persists. libgudev was
  already installed.

  My guess, usb-creator-gtk isn't depending on all the packages it
  should be. I'll let more experienced people figure out which ones.

  Reporting Guidelines:
  1) lubuntu at lubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 13.04
  Release:	13.04
  2) usb-creator-gtk version: 0.2.47
  3) I expected to able to create a Lubuntu 13.04 "liveUSB" from my liveCD
  4) The program crashed upon launching.
