Installation from the software store doesn't work on Ubuntu 18.04

Apologies if this is already known, or maybe it's just me, but I thought I'd share my experience just in case. I couldn't find another issue relating to this specific case.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and I installed Gespeaker from the software store, but it wouldn't launch (as is noted by a review on the store).

Looking at the logs, I found this:

ImportError: No module named dbus
    import dbus
File "/usr/share/gespeaker/plugins/plugin_dbus/__init__.py", line 28, in <module>

After some digging, I discovered the apt package python-dbus. It wasn't installed on my system, so I tried installing it and suddenly Gespeaker was able to launch with no problems.

I don't know whether this is my fault, but I've never heard of dbus until now (I'm not much of a linux guy). Maybe there's a problem with installing the python-dbus dependency?

Otherwise I like this program - it's just what I wanted 😃

Edit: Just realised that the README of this repo lists the dependencies. Doh 🙈 Still, it's interesting that it lists python-dbus -common rather than just python-dbus. Running apt search python-dbus-common turned up no results for me.

Thanks - I searched and searched for the answer - This worked like a charm.
