Package: s3cmd
Version: 2.0.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
My backup scripts invocation of s3cmd is resulting in two warnings/errors. I
report them together here since I am unsure if the second is a consequence of
the first.
First warning is:
WARNING: !!!!!!! Support for python3 is currently in a 'Work In Progress'
state.
Please don't use s3cmd with python3 on production tasks or with sensitive
data as unexpected behaviors could occur !!!!!!!
And the second error is:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An unexpected error has occurred.
Please try reproducing the error using
the latest s3cmd code from the git master
branch found at:
https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd
and have a look at the known issues list:
https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd/wiki/Common-known-issues-and-their-solutions
If the error persists, please report the
following lines (removing any private
info as necessary) to:

I suspect that the cache (specified via --cache-file) is incompatible between
this version and the last. I'm unsure if this is an s3cmd change or a
consequence of switching to Python3 (maybe pickling is not compatible?)
Reverting to 1.6.1-1 in Stretch resolves this for me.
Given the first warning (which I pressume reflects upstream's view) are we sure
it is wise to be shipping with #!/usr/bin/python3 in Debian at this point?
Given the wording which upstream has used I considered filing bug this with
severity grave or serious, but in the end I went with important, although it
seems to me that we cannot ship s3cmd in a stable release while it is printing
such a warning.
Thanks,
Ian.
