Hi all,

I’ve got almost every requirement satisfied to install on Debian Wheezy (on some archaic arm hardware hence limited in distro options) but there seems to be a missing package dependency in mopidy’s apt install procedure for wheezy: Depends: python-gst-1.0 but it is not installable.

As you can see from the package listings page, there is no backport of this to Wheezy: [https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-gst-1.0](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python-gst-1.0)

Any advice? It feels like I’m so near but yet so far…

An update on what I’m trying:

Build requirements for source build of gobject-introspection can be met by apt.

This then lets you build pygobject.

Which will let you build Python-gst-1.0

So, I got to a successful build of python-gst-1.0 but am still getting the following:

raceback (most recent call last):  
File “/usr/bin/mopidy”, line 9, in   
load\_entry\_point(‘Mopidy==2.0.0’, ‘console\_scripts’, ‘mopidy’)()

Any ideas?
