Hi Elena et al I wonder if anything could be done to have this package fixed, so dependent packages (e.g. nuitka) aren't blocked awaiting for the resolution. -- Yaroslav O.

That would only delay the removal a bit: I'm sure that the current version doesn't work with python3, so it's going to be removed sooner or later from the archive. Uploading the new upstream would also be python2 only, at least at the beginning, but at least there is hope that it can be made to work also with python3. I don't expect the new version to be problematic, but it will involve a bit of yak shaving, and and see #876681 (RFH: rst2pdf) on how this package is pretty low on my priorities. -- Elena ``of Valhalla''

Package: rst2pdf Version: 0.93-7 Followup-For: Bug #929954 If new version building is problematic, why not to upload just a patched version? I have verified that adding import reportlab to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rst2pdf/flowables.py addresses the issue I ran into this one while building new version of nuitka, so its new version upload blocked by this one. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (300, 'experimental'), (100, 'unstable-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages rst2pdf depends on: ii python2.7.16-1 ii python-docutils 0.14+dfsg-4 ii python-pdfrw 0.4-2 ii python-pkg-resources 40.8.0-1 ii python-pygments 2.3.1+dfsg-1 ii python-reportlab 3.5.13-1 ii python-setuptools 40.8.0-1 ii python-simplejson 3.16.0-1 ii python3-pygments 2.3.1+dfsg-1 rst2pdf recommends no packages.
