Bug Description

On a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04LTS, I installed gnome-activity-journal. Install went fine, but when I tried to run it, nothing happened. So I opened a terminal and run it again, and I saw this error message:

jo-erlend@jedesktop:~$ gnome-activity-journal
------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: No module named zeitgeist.
Did you remember to fetch the 'lp:zeitgeist' and 'lp:fungtk' repositories?

Please see the README file for more information, or contact us
in IRC channel #zeitgeist on Freenode (irc.freenode.net).

I solved this problem by installing zeitgeist (apt-get install zeitgesit). Activity Journal is just a viewer, which can't display any information if the daemon (Zeitgeist) doesn't gather them.

Yes, that works. So I guess the only thing to do is to add zeitgeist as a dependency to the gnome-activity-journal package.

It would be nice if someone could do that.
