Public bug reported: python2 now exists in disco and up.
can you please introduce `python2` in bionic, which is an empty meta- package with like `Depends: python-minimal`. Or something like that. Such that one can use "python2" dependency in either bionic or focal, and get /usr/bin/python2. Specifically kernel autopkgtest currently use python2 and will likely be backported to bionic, and will then break. I'm proposing for them to use "python2 | python" but that will eventually break in focal++ ** Affects: python-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: python-defaults (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: python-defaults (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python-defaults in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1859843 Title: Please add python2 to bionic Status in python-defaults package in Ubuntu: New Status in python-defaults source package in Bionic: New Bug description: python2 now exists in disco and up. can you please introduce `python2` in bionic, which is an empty meta- package with like `Depends: python-minimal`.
