Bug #11340
closedDocumentation Update - python3-suds isn't installed by default
100%
Description
The Linux installation docs (over here https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux) are helpful, but they are missing one dependency: python3-suds.
Without it, Chirp is totally usable, but any query to RadioReference will fail silently. A quick look at the debug log reveals that the problem is a missing suds component. (Which is not included with Ubuntu by default - as an example.)
Adding python3-suds to the list of packages installed with apt/dnf in step 1 avoids this issue and will leave users with a fully-functioning Chirp install.

Well, the real problem is that the package itself doesn't list it in requirements. The distro-based packages aren't going to be sufficient anyway starting with around python3.11 anyway because of the externally-managed flag (the newer distro instructions on that page).
But yeah, I'll get it added to the requirements such that the pip/pipx install will put suds in regardless.
