Package: gcp Version: 0.1.3-5 Severity: important User: [email protected] Usertags: oldlibs python-gobject Tags: buster sid Control: block 912946 by -1
This package depends on python-gobject, which is a transitional package that depends on both: * python-gobject-2, the old "static" Python binding for GLib and GObject; * python-gi, the new GObject-Introspection binding Presumably only one of those dependencies is actually needed. python-gobject-2 is only available for Python 2, and is unmaintained upstream. Python 2 will also reach end-of-life upstream during the lifetime of Debian 10 'buster'. Please port dependent packages to use PyGI (the python-gi or python3-gi packages in Debian), which is the GObject-Introspection-based replacement for python-gobject-2. More information about porting from the static bindings is available here: https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/porting.html python-gobject-2 and Python 2 will probably be removed from Debian during the bullseye release cycle, and the python-gobject transitional package will also need to be removed, so the severity of this bug is likely to be increased to serious after the buster release. Thanks, smcv
