+ [ Impact ]
- ```
- $ safeeyes
+ safeeyes is completely unusable. It will fail immediately when the user
+ tries to start the application and will crash with the error:
+
+ $ safeeyes

+
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ install safeeyes
+
+ 1) quick test:
+ open a terminal and use the command "safeeyes --help"
+
+ If the package is not fixed it will crash with the above error.
+
+ 2) Detailed test:
+ start safeeyes from the launcher menu.
+ click on the safeeyes icon in the status bar to open the menu and then click
on setting in the menu.
+
+ Change the time limits for intervals. ( I used 1 minute for interval between
short breaks and interval between long breaks)
+ Select the "Plugins" tab and disable "Smart Pause".
+ close the settings.
+
+ After the time interval is over "safeeyes" will lock the screen with a
+ message.
+
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ This upstream patch is just changing the way it checks python3-croniter
+ module is installed or not at startup. As a worst case scenario if the
+ changed code does not work then safeeyes will not start. But considering
+ the fact the safeeyes is unusable now, the user should not see any new
+ regression than what already exists.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ This has been fixed in Debian when v2.1.9 was added and so Oracular is
+ also fixed.
+

```
The bug has been fixed upstream (it is just two lines
https://github.com/slgobinath/SafeEyes/pull/544), however, there has not
been any release since then.
I suggest that we cherrypick the fix in Ubuntu 24.04
