Bug Description

Binary package hint: deluge-torrent

I did an Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 using alternate command line only installation, then install xorg, kdebase, deluge-torrent some other application.
if I try to start deluge from K-Menu, there is an deluge button on external toolbar, but after a while it's dissapear.
If I try to start deluge from shell, it produce the following:

kuadhual@miso: /usr/bin/deluge
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 123, in <module>
    subprocess.Popen(["dbus-launch", "deluge"] + sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 594, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1147, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I got a hint from IRC to check DBUS installation:

kuadhual@miso:~/.config$ dpkg -l | grep dbus
ii dbus 1.1.20-1ubuntu1 simple interprocess messaging system
ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.20-1ubuntu1 simple interprocess messaging system
ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-2 simple interprocess messaging system (GLib-b
ii libdbus-qt-1-1c2 0.62.git.20060814-2build1 simple interprocess messaging system (Qt-bas
ii libpolkit-dbus2 0.7-2ubuntu7 library for accessing PolicyKit via D-Bus
ii python-dbus 0.82.4-1ubuntu1 simple interprocess messaging system (Python

after I install dbus-x11:
sudo apt-get install dbus-x11

I can run deluge.

Someone said that package dbus-launch is renamed to dbus-x11, and deluge dependency did not list that as dependency

Debian fixed this in their latest package:

 deluge-torrent (0.5.9.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release (Closes: #475313, #465059).
   * Add missing dbus-x11 runtime dependency (Closes: #481564).

A merge to Ubuntu is in progress which will bring this fix.

This bug is not fixed in Hardy. I just attempted to install deluge-torrent and it would not run without manually installing x11-dbus. Hardy is LTS will this ever be fixed?
