This patch looks like a combination of two upstream patches: 412123f4420b1f0ab69d1d7b2689f89b27a5466d Changed super call to the explicit version for capatability with python 2 and 3 05f8260e3e715cc6cf59aeb91adc90e66b0e2b19 Changed super(HelpFormatter, self).__init__() to super().__init__(prog) I can confirm that applying the patch(es) fixes the issue. I would like to perform an NMU soon fixing this issue (patch attached); are there any outstanding concerns? live well, vagrant
