Hi Alec,

I recently dropped all ROS Python 2 and along the lines python-catkin-pkg as well. I found your package only afterwards and I'm sorry for braking it. The good news is that the package builds fine without python-catkin-pkg, so it could just be dropped. I've uploaded a NMU with just this changed to delayed/5, please ping me if I should delay it further or drop it.

Cheers Jochen

Python2 becomes end-of-live upstream, and Debian aims to remove
Python2 from the distribution, as discussed in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2019/07/msg00080.html

Your package either build-depends, depends on Python2, or uses Python2
in the autopkg tests (the specific reason can be found searching this
source package in
https://people.debian.org/~morph/mass-bug-py2removal_take2.txt ).
Please stop using Python2, and fix this issue by one of the following
actions.

- Convert your Package to Python3. This is the preferred option.  In
 case you are providing a Python module foo, please consider dropping
 the python-foo package, and only build a python3-foo package.  Please
 don't drop Python2 modules, which still have reverse dependencies,
 just document them.

 This is the preferred option.

- If the package is dead upstream, cannot be converted or maintained
 in Debian, it should be removed from the distribution.  If the
 package still has reverse dependencies, raise the severity to
 "serious" and document the reverse dependencies with the BTS affects
 command.  If the package has no reverse dependencies, confirm that
 the package can be removed, reassign this issue to ftp.debian.org,
 make sure that the bug priority is set to normal and retitle the
 issue to "RM: PKG -- removal triggered by the Python2 removal".

- If the package has still many users (popcon >= 300), or is needed to
 build another package which cannot be removed, document that by
 adding the "py2keep" user tag (not replacing the py2remove tag),
 using the debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org user.  Also any
 dependencies on an unversioned python package (python, python-dev)
 must not be used, same with the python shebang.  These have to be
 replaced by python2/python2.7 dependencies and shebang.

 This is the least preferred option.

If there are questions, please refer to the wiki page for the removal:
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal, or ask for help on IRC
#debian-python, or the debian-pyt...@lists.debian.org mailing list.
