Public bug reported:
If one attempts to install the python3-ldap package, a number of python2
related dependencies are also pulled in for installation:
# apt install python3-ldap
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
libpython-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib python python-ldap
python-minimal python-pyasn1 python-pyasn1-modules python2.7 python2.7-minimal
Suggested packages:
python-doc python-tk python2.7-doc binfmt-support
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libpython-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib python python-ldap
python-minimal python-pyasn1 python-pyasn1-modules python2.7 python2.7-minimal
python3-ldap

Abort.
Looking at the dependencies for the package, we see:
Depends: python3 (<< 3.7), python3 (>= 3.6~), python3-pyasn1 (>= 0.3.7),
python3-pyasn1-modules, python3:any (>= 3.3.2-2~), python-ldap (=
3.0.0-1), libc6 (>= 2.14), libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.11)
So python2 is being pulled in because of the dependency on "python-ldap"
It looks like this issue may be fixed in the 3.1.0-1 package via this
change:
3.1.0-1
* debian/python-ldap.docs
- rename to docs (avoid dependency other python variant)
It would be nice if this could be fixed for Ubuntu18.04 LTS users.
Thanks!
