Please, add the dependency `python-defusedxml`, thanks.

In case it were help, I have solved it with:
sudo pacman -Sy python-pip psutils
sudo pip3 install defusedxml
Greetings

That does not help, quite the opposite, installing things system-wide with other package managers will only wreck your system. Pip has a --user flag.

The correct thing is to install python-defusedxml, which you now likely can't do without undoing the pip install.

You will run into issues when this bug is closed and the package is added to depends.

Receiving error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'defusedxml'

Fixed by: pacman -S python-defusedxml

@tholinka: that's a workaround, not a fix... ;-)

I was going to report the missing debendency as a new bug, but found this one.

I came to the same solution as @tholinka, installing the python-defusedxml package manually. Even de- and reinstalled the glances package to check if the dependency has been added yet.

Adding this package as a runtime dependency would be the solution, manual installation is indeed just a workaround. @rpodgorny

Solution would look like this in the PKGBUILD file:
```
depends=('python' 'python-psutil' 'python-future' 'python-defusedxml')
```

Workaround: `pacman -S --asdeps python-defusedxml`

The package was updated today to version 3.2.2 but the bug is still there for me.

Still an issue.

What's keeping this seemingly simple fix from going forward? And why is the priority so low if glances doesn't even run without any manual fix?
Comment by Jeremy Cantrell (jmcantrell) - Thursday, 30 September 2021, 05:13 GMT
It's listed as a required dependency in `setup.py` (https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/blob/v3.2.2/setup.py#L44). Is this not as simple as `depends+=python-defusedxml` in the PKGBUILD (as has already been stated)? The only other change required would be to bump pkgrel.

I can confirm that this issue is still there, and manually installing the python dependency fixes the issue.

What needs to be done to get this fixed properly, and how can I help?

Just stepped in the same minefield as well, though I was on Manjaro ARM64 which apparently inherits this issue from here.

@Jeremy Cantrell it sure seems like it is.

Here's a patch for whoever can push the change :)
