Tails

#2 Updated by hefee 2019-01-06 12:09:01

From the screenshot you sent I searched for entries in the tails-common.list that we surly want to keep:

• bookletimposer - GTK interface for pdfimposer
• gnome-control-center
• ibus-pinyin - chinese input method
• tails-installer
• inkscape
• scribus (scribus-ng also still depdends on Python2)
• mat
• monkeysign
• python-dogtail - our test suite needs this

All in all it looks not achievable for buster to get rid of Python2.

apt install python- bookletimposer gnome-control-center ibus-pinyin tails-installer inkscape scribus-ng mat monkeysign python-dogtail

Let’s report a bug (+ forward upstream) to get it ported to Python 3. Either way, could be removed IMO, I’m pretty sure very few users need it and now we have a good Additional Software feature.

> * gnome-control-center

I’m curious how this (transitively?) depends on Python 2.

> * tails-installer

Should be relatively easy to port, modulo text encoding.

> * inkscape

Could be removed IMO → Additional Software.

> * scribus (scribus-ng also still depdends on Python2)

Could be removed IMO → Additional Software.

> * mat

Deprecated. Should be replaced by mat2 which is Python 3, see Debian BTS for the last blocker.

> * monkeysign

Abandoned upstream, could be removed IMO: Feature #11240.

> * python-dogtail - our test suite needs this

The Nautilus extension for MAT2 in Buster is Python 2 and there’s no way this changes. But for Bullseye hopefully python-nautilus will support Python 3.
