Bug#750194: transmageddon: does nothing, gives a traceback

[Paul Slootman]

Package: transmageddon
Version: 1.1-2
Severity: important

$ transmageddon 
ERROR: Could not load classifier cascade /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "transmageddon.py", line 132, in do_activate
    self.win = TransmageddonUI(self, source=self.source)
  File "transmageddon.py", line 323, in __init__
    CheckDir = os.path.isdir(self.audiodirectory)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/genericpath.py", line 41, in isdir
    st = os.stat(s)
TypeError: can't specify None for path argument


And that's all that happens, no window, nothing, just hangs there.

^C
$ transmageddon 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "transmageddon.py", line 132, in do_activate
    self.win = TransmageddonUI(self, source=self.source)
  File "transmageddon.py", line 323, in __init__
    CheckDir = os.path.isdir(self.audiodirectory)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/genericpath.py", line 41, in isdir
    st = os.stat(s)
TypeError: can't specify None for path argument

The first error about /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
is only given the first time after installing, but still nothing happens.

Something is definitely not right!
