Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2019-06-26 13:23:09 CEST
I got the following traceback when running tl-setup on SLES:

> Failed to launch installer through 'sudo':
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/opt/thinlinc/sbin/../libexec/tl-setup.py", line 44, in <module>

That module is supposed to be a standard part of Python, so this is a bit odd.

I got in to this situation by uninstalling python (so I could test that we install it correctly), then installing it back. It turns our that the XML stuff is in a separate package, called python-xml.

I don't know what pulls it in during installation as I cannot find any base package or pattern that references. I guess it's just a hard coded default in SUSE's installer.
