Kopano-search nightly build 05-09-2019 fails to start

hi all,

Kopano-search fails to start on the latest build on Debian Buster. see error below:

Hai,

The fix is very simple,

apt install python3-tzlocal

@fbartels This is a missing dependecy for package kopano-search in buster.
And most probely other distro’s.

@ckruijntjens How i know this. in the last 15 min i upgrade my kopano and had the same problem.
This might help you in the future.
From you output above : /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kopano/property.py
So its python3 related.
File “/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kopano/timezone.py”, line 24, in <module>
its a python3 modules for kopano its modules called timezone.py
Later on you see : kopano-search[83]: import tzlocal

So your looking for a python module called : tzlocal

and then you do an :
apt-cache search python3 |grep timezone or apt-cache search python3 |grep tzlocal

results in 3 options with the first search to install. i choose the close one to what the error it telling. ( tzlocal )
python3-django-timezone-field - database and form fields for pytz objects (Python3 version)
python3-tz - Python3 version of the Olson timezone database
python3-tzlocal - tzinfo object for the local timezone (Python 3 version)

And only one in the last search.
Now, this is not always that easy, then i suggest, go here : https://packages.debian.org/
And use the different search options to find the missing module.

Greetz,

@thctlo

yes you are right. Problem is resolved thank you.
