Yeah, this bug is mostly about deprecating a debian tool (pysupport) in favour of another (dh-python, or better, dh_python2 in this case). I uploaded dozens of packages in the last 4 days removing it, but I'm stuck at gbirthday because it insists at installing images in sitelib, which used to be /usr/share/pyshared/gbirthday/ with pysupport, but now we're migrating off that directory and going to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, where images are not really welcome. So, given that this is actually an application and not a python module or such. To do so, I'd like to upload what I attached as debdiff. In particoular I'm adding a patch to let it load from /usr/share/gbirthday. Happens that the program doesn't load here, no UI appears; since this is the same behaviour I have with the package already in the archive that's not a regression, but given that uploading such untested changes would be too bad, I'd like to ask you what do you think of the patch attached as 'patch'. > For the record, gbirthday has moved to GitHub: > https://github.com/Jerome-github/gbirthday/.

I would update it, but I don't know which kind of filenames you'll use, since there is no release already made there.

Stretch will still release with python2, even if we definitely would like to remove it for buster. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: http://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
