Hello! The new libpeas with python2 loader split out has just passed through the binary-NEW queue. Please note the new package name which you'll need to add a dependency on: libpeas-1.0-python2loader It is ofcourse preferred that you port your package over to using python3 since python2 will be deprecated, but adding the dependency on libpeas-1.0-python2loader is an intermediate way to keep your package functional. Please note that libpeas-1.0-python2loader is is section oldlibs and is considered obsolete. It will be removed in the future. Specific to gtranslator is that adding a dependency is questionable because: a) upstream gtranslator git has completely removed support for plugins b) only one or two very obscure plugins actually needs python2 c) usage of plugins with gtranslator is likely very uncommon d) the plugins only seemed partially functional when I tested them so since they seem unmaintained having them *not* loaded might even be considered an improvement. ;) I've thus retitled to investigate adding a Recommends/Suggests and lowered the severity since gtranslator itself should stay functional without the python2 loader.
