Hello debian-goodies package maintainer(s),
I am another user who would love to see this bug fixed.
I therefore prepared a patch for checkrestart.
The patch just applies the conversion to raw strings suggested in the
second bullet of the [Other Language Changes] section of the What's New
In Python 3.12 document.
And it only applies this conversion to the regular expressions that
triggered SyntaxWarnings.
[Other Language Changes]:
<https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html#other-language-changes>
I think the patch is so trivial that it is not even copyrighted.
Should this turn out to be not true, I hereby release the patch under
the same terms as checkrestart (that is to say: GNU GPL v2 or later).
The patch is attached, please apply it to checkrestart.
Thanks a lot for your time and dedication!
