Package: openvswitch-common
Version: 2.10.0+2018.08.28+git.8ca7c82b7d+ds1-12
Severity: grave
Hi,
openvswitch-common correctly depends on python3, because it ships
scripts written in Python 3:
```
# file /usr/bin/ov* | grep python
/usr/bin/ovn-detrace: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovn-docker-overlay-driver: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovn-docker-underlay-driver: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovs-dpctl-top: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovs-l3ping: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovs-parse-backtrace: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovs-pcap: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovs-tcpdump: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovs-tcpundump: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovs-test: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
/usr/bin/ovs-vlan-test: a /usr/bin/python3 script, ASCII text
executable
```
But openvswitch-common depends on python-six (pulling in Python 2) instead of
python3-six. Following script import six and will fail if python3-six is
missing:
```
# grep "from six" $(file /usr/bin/ov* | grep python | sed 's/:.*//')
/usr/bin/ovs-l3ping:from six.moves import xmlrpc_client as xmlrpclib
/usr/bin/ovs-test:from six.moves import xmlrpc_client as xmlrpclib
/usr/bin/ovs-vlan-test:from six.moves import BaseHTTPServer
/usr/bin/ovs-vlan-test:from six.moves import http_client as httplib
```
This can be easily reproduced in a minimal Debian chroot:
```
# ovs-l3ping
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ovs-l3ping", line 24, in <module>
from six.moves import xmlrpc_client as xmlrpclib
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'
```
