Bug#901512: python3: Python doesn't register with the debian alternatives system
Package: python3 Version: 3.5.3-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, Shouldn't python be registering with the debian alternatives system, so that update-alternatives allows things like /usr/bin/python to symlink to the desired version when multiple python versions are installed? Currently, with 2.7 and 3.5 installed, I have to do it all by hand if I want to make python3 the default, and this feels undebian and like I might be missing important things because /usr/bin also contains stuff like python-config and python3m which I guess might need symlinking too and I don't know if there are libs anywhere that need similar treatment, or stuff in other packages that assumes python will always be python version 2 and might break so an official supported way of changing python version via update-alternatives would be really good.

Bug#896925: light-locker: unable to unlock screen if allow-user-switching=false in lightdm.conf
Package: light-locker Version: 1.7.0-3 Severity: important I am the only user of my system, so set allow-user-switching=false in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf expecting it to cause light locker to no longer ask for a login/password combination when unlocking the screen, but instead to only allow entry of my password. Instead, the screen remains blank and unresponsive (e.g. wiggling mouse, typing etc causes no change) and there is no way to unlock my session again. Setting allow-user-switching=true fixes the problem, allowing entry of login/password to unlock my screen. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages light-locker depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.26.0-2+b1 ii libc62.24-11+deb9u3 ii libcairo21.14.8-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.26-0+deb9u1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.11-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.5-1 ii libsystemd0 232-25+deb9u2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1 ii lightdm 1.18.3-1 light-locker recommends no packages. light-locker suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
