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.
