** Description changed: [ IMPACT ] squid-deb-proxy is a python2 script. I suggest to change the shebang to /usr/bin/python2 to reflect this. The script crashes for users who have made python3 the default in bionic. Anyone with python as python2 is - fine (the default), but somehow who likes to stay in LTS yet program in - python3 this results in avoidable and easily fixable problem. + fine (the default), but someone who likes to stay in bionic LTS yet + program in python3 this results in an avoidable and easily fixable + problem. [ TEST CASE ] Compare "python2 /usr/share/squid-deb-proxy-client/apt-avahi-discover" vs. "python3 /usr/share/squid-deb-proxy-client/apt-avahi-discover". [ REGRESSION POTENTIAL ] There should not be any. It just makes the implicit assumption that the script runs via python2 explicit. The only time there could potentially be an issue is if python2 has been explicitly removed AND python pointed to python3. I have a hard time thinking why somebody would do that and such a setup would certainly break in a number of other situations.
