Missing dependency on debian:8.10 vanilla

[eaglerainbow]

Prio low

For testing in #242 I had created a small environment using docker, whose Dockerfile reads like this:

FROM debian:8.10

RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install mc jed less python3 git \
  python3-pyqt5 parted util-linux mtools python3-dbus python3-pyudev \
  p7zip-full python3-six

Running then the docker image with /bin/bash I issued the following set of commands:

cd && git clone https://github.com/mbusb/multibootusb.git && cd multibootusb

Current state of branch master (which is checked out here) is 67f57a8, which is roughly 8.9.0.

Trying then to run multibootusb, the following error message is issued:

root@cf058091d456:~/multibootusb# python3 ./multibootusb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./multibootusb", line 174, in <module>
    if config.debug is True:
NameError: name 'config' is not defined

Please note that python3 -V states

Python 3.4.2

The same result is also provided when changing the underlying operating system version from debian:8.10 to ubuntu:16.04. There, Python 3.5.x is running.

Problem statement
There seems to be "some additional" dependency necessary, which is not documented properly in the README.md. Yet, the dependencies python3-pyqt5 parted util-linux mtools python3-dbus python3-pyudev p7zip-full python3-six I copied out from the manifest file of the current .deb package. I would have expected that these dependencies would also be mentioned as prerequisites to the section "Installation" -> "On Linux" -> "Using source code method".

Additional Information
Could be related to #238, but that's unclear.

Not sure what dependency would fix this.

I first installed https://github.com/mbusb/multibootusb/releases/download/v9.1.0/python3-multibootusb_9.1.0-1_all.deb

Running this yielded the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./multibootusb", line 174, in
if config.debug is True:
NameError: name 'config' is not defined

git cloning the 09 Jan repo yielded same error.

Commenting out the config stuff brought up a NameError for 'gen' later on.

The "from scripts import" (admin/gen/config) stuff doesn't seem to give give an error.
I tried adding
sys.path.append('/home/klopsi/Downloads/multiboot/multibootusb/scripts/') to expllicitly load the scripts in the multibootusb git repo, but same errors.

print(sys.path) with my added append returns:
['/home/klopsi/Downloads/multiboot/multibootusb', '/usr/lib/python35.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.5', '/usr/lib/python3.5/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu', '/usr/lib/python3.5/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scripts/', '/home/klopsi/Downloads/multiboot/multibootusb/scripts/']

Commenting-out the config. and gen. stuff, i got the next error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 175, in activate_name_owner
return self.get_name_owner(bus_name)

message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Could not get owner of name 'org.freedesktop.UDisks2': no such name

dbus is running. Is this stuff somehow dependent on systemd by chance?

@klopsi Remove your old install. Install again deb package and let me know the terminal output of ls \usr\lib\python3\dist-packages\scripts\.
