Details

Description:

python-kikit depends on pcbnewTransition (see https://github.com/yaqwsx/KiKit/blob/bdee246773f96285c39101dc450fec88a80cafff/setup.py#L54) since version 1.0.0. The source can be found here: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbnewTransition and it is also uploaded to pip: https://pypi.org/project/pcbnewTransition/ .

Please also package this module and add it as a dependency. Thank you!


Without this dependency, the library does not work at all. The `kikit` tool will display its help message, but as soon as you try to use it with actual kicad files, it breaks with e.g. the following message:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/kikit/plugin/__init__.py", line 12, in <module>
from kikit.common import KIKIT_LIB
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/kikit/common.py", line 3, in <module>
from pcbnewTransition import pcbnew, isV6
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pcbnewTransition'
```


Additional info:
* applicable since 1.0.5 (since previous 1.0 releases were not published in archlinux)
* no necessary config files
* no upstream bug report since this is an archlinux problem

Steps to reproduce:
1. install python-kikit
2. run `kikit-info`

```
$ kikit-info
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/kikit-info", line 33, in <module>
