spyder4 beta5 reports missing dependencies which are already installed

I installed spyder4 in ubuntu using pip install --pre -U spyder. When I run it I get a pop-up window which states:

You have missing dependencies!
xdg >=0.26: None (NOK)

I'm sure xdg-utils is installed. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Thanks !

Solution

  • (Spyder maintainer here) You need to run

    pip install -U pyxdg

    to fix this problem.
