** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ * Onionshare is completely broken on Noble and Oracular as it crashes when
the server is started.
+ * Plucky and Questing are not affected as this issue got fixed when the
package was synced from Debian on Plucky.
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ * start onionshare (for example by running `onionshare-cli foobar.txt`)
+ and verify that it can connect to tor.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ * This patch could introduce another regression that might have been
undetected until now because the server wouldn't even start.
+ * More changes might be needed to fully migrate to python3.12.
+
+ [ Original Bug Description ]
