Installation in Debian 8.2 Systemd-nspawn container fails: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory #17
Description
Hi,
following the installation instructions from https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd/blob/master/README.md I would like to use python-systemd (Python2.7) in a systemd-nspawn container with Debian 8.2 OS.
I tried to install the Debian distribution, but it is not found:
sudo apt-get install python-systemd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python-systemd
Installing the dev dependencies works:
apt-get install libsystemd-{journal,daemon,login,id128}-dev gcc python-dev
[…]
gcc is already the newest version.
python-dev is already the newest version.
libsystemd-daemon-dev is already the newest version.
libsystemd-id128-dev is already the newest version.
libsystemd-journal-dev is already the newest version.
libsystemd-login-dev is already the newest version.

But when I try one of the following installation methods, I get an error.

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-62myFr/systemd
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log
the same using setup.py install directly:
python-systemd$ python setup.py install
