Public bug reported:
cinnamon-common has this postinst script:
# Automatically added by dh_python3:
if which py3compile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
py3compile -p cinnamon-common /usr/share/cinnamon
fi
# End automatically added section
But most of cinnamon still on python2:
$ head /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-desktop-editor/cinnamon-desktop-editor.py
#!/usr/bin/python2
import sys
...
py3compile cause errors for python2 code (see below) and this breaks
package upgrade.
Setting up cinnamon-common (3.6.7-3) ...
