qtodotxt_1.6.1_all.deb on Kubuntu 17.10: the software can't launch

[Deevad]

Hi, I grabbed qtodotxt_1.6.1_all.deb after recommendation in the documentation (README.md) for my ubuntu based system (Kubuntu 17.10). After installing the software, I have the launcher in my menu. But if I press the launcher: I get a desktop notification the software crashed in background and nothing launch. Here is the terminal output if I launch it from command line:

 ~ »»» qtodotxt 
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from qtodotxt import app

You can workaround by installing manually in command line :

sudo apt install python3-dateutil

Can you edit the 'control' plain text into the deb and add 'python3-dateutil' to the 'Depends' line ? Thank you!

python3-dateutil should be marked as dependency for .deb package. It is not installed by default in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

@Knysliux001 , it was added 2 years ago https://github.com/QTodoTxt/QTodoTxt/commit/5d9d2452d806f4f04016fd48fe3dd9b477d9ef98

The problem is we are using 1.6.1 version because no newer version are packaged as *.deb. ( ref: https://github.com/QTodoTxt/QTodoTxt/releases )
