i3-dmenu-desktop fails (i3wm on 4.0RC1)

[holiman]

Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2):

4.0 rc1

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable):

---

Expected behavior:

When launching i3-dmenu-desktop (in dom0), the dmenu is launched.

Actual behavior:

Error message:

Can't locate Data/Dumper.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Data::Dumper module)
[...]
at /usr/bin/i3-dmenu-desktop line 10

The i3-dmenu-desktop script says No dependencies except for perl >= v4.10. The perl version in qubes is 5.24.2.
If this line is commented, it further complans about a few more File::Temp, Getopt::Long, Pod::Usage and open

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install qubes 4.0 rc1. Then

 sudo qubes-dom0-update i3 i3-settings-qubes

Boot in i3 (or not), and run i3-dmenu-desktop.

General notes:

I don't know if this is an issue that should be filed against i3wm or qubes.

The fix is to add these packages

perl-Data-Dumper 
perl-file-Temp 
perl-Getopt-Long 
perl-open

...to the dependencies of i3-settings-qubes I'm pretty sure. Installing those packages in dom0 fixed it for me.

Thanks @huntse that solved if for me.

perl-file-Temp -> perl-File-Temp though 👍

Noob question: How does one install packages (thar aren't in the qubes repo) to dom0?
I built a python-version of i3-dmenu-desktop instead, which was pretty simple since .desktop files have the same syntax as python .ini - files (so supported by configparser)

This is probably best for the qubes-users mailing list. Read www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-dom0/ Use qubes-dom0-update in dom0. You should, of course, be wary about what you install in dom0.

OK I've submitted a pull request which should fix this issue.

I download the i3 package today and ran into these dependency issues (specifically being unable to locate Data::Dumper). Has the fix been reversed somehow?
