[Bug 312352] Re: python-tagpy should be added as a dependancy

[Sam Douglas]

An unnecessarily accusive tone. This bug report was from 9 months ago,
but I installed the package via Synaptic. I did not explicitly remove
python-tagpy, or decide not to install the recommended packages.

The real issue I was reporting was that functionality in the program did
not work as installed, AND the error message displayed did not give a
helpful error message.

I just removed python-tagpy to see what the exact error is (Sonata
1.5.3, Jaunty):

"Taglib and/or tagpy not found, tag editing support disabled"

This is a crap error message. If the program isn't going to have a
dependency on the libraries needed, then the Ubuntu packages should be
patched to give useful error messages in this case. How about:

"Taglib and/or tagpy not found. To enable tag editing support, install
the 'python-tagpy' package"

It's still not ideal, but it implies that tagging support is disabled,
and informs how tag editing support can be enabled in a way that is
directly useful to an Ubuntu user.
