Hi,
[ Reason ]
Currently feed2toot does not work at all in trixie (see #1118778). A
feed2toot will throw an import error in the user's face:
$ feed2toot
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/feed2toot", line 21, in <module>
from feed2toot.main import Main
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/feed2toot/main.py", line 33, in <module>
from feed2toot.confparse import ConfParse
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/feed2toot/confparse.py", line 20, in
<module>
from configparser import SafeConfigParser
ImportError: cannot import name 'SafeConfigParser' from 'configparser'
(/usr/lib/python3.13/configparser.py). Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?
[ Impact ]
feed2toot continues to not work in trixie (it works in bookworm and
earlier).
[ Tests ]
I've added a superficial test to make sure it does not panic in the
user's face. I've been running it in Publicity Team's VM for a few
months now and it's forwarding our micronews to mastodon reliably so
far.
[ Risks ]
Very trivial changes, just a module rename introduced in python 3.13.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Cherry-pick a patch from a MR in the upstream repo [1] and add
superficial test to catch errors.

[ Other info ]
I'm not the maintainer of feed2toot, but we are using it extenxively in
the publicity team, so I care a lot about it. The maintainer has
cherry-picked my patches in unstable but has not replied the question
about trixie-pu. It's been a while, so I'm opening the pu bug myself
after warning the maintainer I intended to follow through with the pu.
Also, I'm CC'ing the bug whre all the communication occurred.
Cheers,
Charles
