I’m using balenalib/%%RESIN_MACHINE_NAME%%-debian-python on a Balena Orange pi Zero image. The docs suggest the python-dbus module is already installed (https://www.balena.io/docs/reference/OS/network/2.x/#changing-the-network-at-runtime), yet in the container being pulled it doesn’t appear to be.
Ultimately I was trying to pip install dbus-python but even with python-dbus it generates an error. Turns out libdbus-glib-1-dev and libgirepository1.0-dev are missing from the container and need installing first (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61285415/no-package-dbus-1-found).
install_packages libdbus-glib-1-dev libgirepository1.0-dev
Then pip install dbus-python will work
Mostly here for info, and for docs to either be updated, or the dbus-python to be added to the python images, assuming I have understood the docs correctly.
