[Bug 916915] [NEW] OpenShot 1.4.0 fails to start

 

Public bug reported:

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 and have installed OpenShot 1.4.0-1 through the
standard PPA. It worked when I used it a few weeks ago, but no longer
starts.

When I run openshot in a console, I get:

xerxes@xerxes-laptop:~$ openshot

------------------------- ERROR 1 ------------------------------
Failed to import 'from openshot import main'
Error Message: cannot import name main
----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.4.0)
--------------------------------
Process no longer exists: 15954.  Creating new pid lock file.

Detecting formats, codecs, and filters...
Segmentation fault

In ipython I can import mlt with no issue (and according to Synaptic
python-mlt3 is installed), but when I import openshot, ipython tells me
that the main method does not exist (nor does basically any other
method):

In [1]: import openshot

In [2]: openshot.
openshot.__builtins__      openshot.__new__
openshot.__class__         openshot.__package__
openshot.__delattr__       openshot.__path__
openshot.__dict__          openshot.__reduce__
openshot.__doc__           openshot.__reduce_ex__
openshot.__file__          openshot.__repr__
openshot.__format__        openshot.__setattr__
openshot.__getattribute__  openshot.__sizeof__
openshot.__hash__          openshot.__str__
openshot.__init__          openshot.__subclasshook__
openshot.__name__          openshot.debug

I have attached the debug.py log-file.
