Hello Maintainer,

Python 3.9 deprecated fractions.gcd in favor of math.gcd, this causes a FTBFS in polybar #975795[0]. I believe this issue can cause FTBFS in other packages and thus I picked the serious severity (same one applied to the polybar bug report caused by this).

I have tried to find the correct place to send patches upstream and gave up along the way when I couldn't find the project on freedesktop's gitlab instance[1] and the homepage pointed to an empty bugzilla (which I assume is not used anymore).

I proposed a solution on salsa[2], which I'm also attaching to this email.

I'm also willing to NMU the fix in case the maintainers don't have available time.

Thanks,

Hi, upstream is at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xcbproto

and this issue is fixed in the latest release, so I'll just release that.
