Package: python-ayatana-appindicator Version: 0.5.3-4 Severity: important User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs pygobject-2 Tags: buster sid Control: block 912946 by -1 This package 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. Thanks, smcv
Thanks for reporting this bug, I will consider if not removing the python-ayatana-appindicator package entirely from libayatana-appindicator makes more sense rather than patching things.
This, of course, depends on the current state of dependent applications.
