Public bug reported: axi-cache, the script command line in apt-xapian-index, is now converted to python3. In python3 afaik module ConfigParser is now renamed in configparser.
running axi-cache, throw an error: mizio@sammiz:~$ axi-cache No module named 'ConfigParser': only help functions are implemented, for the sake of help2man if I edit axi-cache, fixing the module name (row 50, "from configparser import RawConfigParser" instead of "from ConfigParser..." all seems ok: mizio@sammiz:~$ axi-cache Usage: axi-cache [options] command [args] Query the Apt Xapian index. Commands: <...> But this fix isn't sufficient. The script not seems to me really python3 compatible, ie: mizio@sammiz:~$ axi-cache search brasero 4 results found. Results 1-4: 100% b'brasero-cdrkit' - (unknown by apt) 98% b'brasero-common' - (unknown by apt) 77% b'gir1.2-brasero-3.0' - (unknown by apt) 71% b'brasero' - (unknown by apt) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/axi-cache", line 852, in <module> sys.exit(ui.perform()) File "/usr/bin/axi-cache", line 847, in perform return f(self.args) File "/usr/bin/axi-cache", line 547, in do_search self.print_matches(self.db.get_matches()) File "/usr/bin/axi-cache", line 808, in print_matches sugg = self.clean_suggestions(self.db.get_suggestions(count=7, filter=DB.TermFilter(stemmer=self.db.stem, exclude=self.args))) File "/usr/bin/axi-cache", line 310, in get_suggestions return self.enquire.get_eset(count, rset, filter) File "/usr/bin/axi-cache", line 118, in __call__ return term[0].islower() AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'islower' for this reason I suggest to revert the "python3 conversion" or ask the upstream to convert the script.
