At first glance it seems like this package is affected simply because it builds python2 bindings (alongside python3 bindings). The python-libtorrent and python-libtorrent-dbg packages have no reverse dependencies and it seems like this could simply be fixed by dropping those packages, the python2 build-dependencies and the python2 machinery in debian/rules. Things are however not so simple. Once python2 is gone, the package no longer builds: dh_auto_clean: Please use the third-party "pybuild" build system instead of python-distutils dh_auto_clean: This feature will be removed in compat 12. Can't exec "pyversions": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Buildsystem/python_distutils.pm line 124. dh_auto_clean: failed to run pyversions I assume the next step needed would be to convert from distutils to setuptools. Maybe there are other hidden gotchas after that as well. Hope this helps anyway. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
