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

[Doug R.]

Public bug reported:

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.
