Package: python-pyudev Version: 0.21.0-1 Severity: normal User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs python-gobject Tags: buster sid Control: block 912946 by -1
This package suggests 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 suggestions is actually useful. Please change the suggestion to either python-gi (if the package uses "import gi" or "from gi.repository import..."), or python-gobject-2 (if the package uses "import gobject"). 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. Thanks, smcv
