Package: wicd-daemon Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6 Severity: important User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs pygobject-2
wicd-daemon depends on python-gobject-2, which is the old "static" Python binding for GLib and GObject. python-gobject-2 is only available for Python 2, and is unmaintained upstream. Python 2 will also reach end-of-life upstream during the lifetime of Debian 10 'buster'. Please port dependent packages to use PyGI (the python-gi or python3-gi packages in Debian), which is the GObject-Introspection-based replacement for python-gobject-2. More information about porting from the static bindings is available here: https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/porting.html python-gobject-2 and Python 2 will probably be removed from Debian during the bullseye release cycle, so the severity of this bug is likely to be increased to serious after the buster release.
