Removing python-xmlbuilder from Debian

2019-12-25 Thread Thomas Goirand
Hi Andreas,

Currently, python-xmlbuilder cannot easily be ported to Py3. When
running its unit tests, here's the result:

  File "/<>/xmlbuilder/test.py", line 135, in test_with6
eq_(str(self.xml), '11')
  File "/<>/xmlbuilder/__init__.py", line 208, in __str__
return hdr + str(self.__stack[0])
TypeError: __str__ returned non-string (type bytes)

Feel free to download the updated package from
http://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/python/python-xmlbuilder to test
this yourself.

Currently, the only reverse dependency of this package is
python-pbcommand. So we have 2 choices:

1/ Fix python-xmlbuilder
2/ Get python-xmlbuilder and python-pbcommand removed from Debian.

Your thoughts?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
