Public bug reported:
At least one Python script (/usr/share/oneconf) uses Python 2 syntax but
use a version-less /usr/bin/python in its shebang. As a result, if the
user configures Python 3 to be the default Python for /usr/bin/python,
the script fails.
The script(s) should be either fixed to be friendly with both Python 2
and Python 3 or have a version-specific shebang, e.g.
/usr/bin/python2.7.
I have observed the script crash with a SyntaxError on 'print
_("Installed packages.")'
