[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] Bug#819517: electrum: Please add a dependency against python-zbar

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: electrum
Version: 2.5.4-2
Severity: minor

Hi,

Electrum uses python-zbar in the "Send" tab to scan the barcodes, if the
package is not installed it display a message suggesting to install it
using pip.

I would say that this is not a good advise in debian. The package should
probably Recommends against python-zbar and the message should be
changed to suggest to install the zbar using apt.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
