Package: python3-xapian-haystack
Version: 2.1.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
I installed python3-xapian-haystack in order to employ Xapian as a
Haystack backend in mailman3-web on stable (bookworm).
However, upon actually trying to use it, I got the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

from django.utils import six
Exception Type: ImportError at /hyperkitty/search
Exception Value: cannot import name 'six' from 'django.utils'
(/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/django/utils/__init__.py)
django.utils.six was removed in Django 3.0; the version of Django in
stable is 3.2. Hence python3-xapian-haystack is currently unusable in
stable, as it simply throws an ImportError upon loading.
Upstream fixed this issue when they dropped Python 2 support in [0].
However, I have a simpler patch that just removes the six import and
changes all occurences of `six.moves.range()` to the built-in `range()`,
which I've applied locally (hence the debsums complaint) and seems to do
the trick.
I would very much like a stable-update for this given that the package
simply does not work without the patch.
Many thanks,
Ole
