new builds of 3.20-10 got a python2 dependency by dh_python

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

This blocks 3.20-10 in proposed and needs to be resolved.

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

package "gpsd" itself now has:
 Depends: netbase | systemd-sysv, lsb-base (>= 3.2-13), adduser (>= 3.34), libbluetooth3 (>= 4.91), libc6 (>= 2.29), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.9.14), libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.8), libgps26 (= 3.20-10), python2:any, python3:any (>= 3.5~), python3

Maybe the moves gpsctl triggered that?

gpsctl is a binary, it is actually ubxtool

# file $(dpkg -L gpsd) | grep -i pyth
/usr/bin/ubxtool: Python script, ASCII text executable

# head /usr/bin/ubxtool
#! /usr/bin/python2
# -*- coding: UTF-8

This was suggested by bzed as it is one common tool to manage HW.
But it has further issues like:

$ ubxtool
ubxtool: failed to import gps, check PYTHONPATH

python3-gps sn't helping as it is python2 - and gpsd-clients (where ubxtool was before) is replacing python-gps.
But actually there is NO python[2]-gps anymore.

This actually is a bit more twisted than you'd tihnk at first sight.
ubxtool was already made python3 compatible and fixed up in d/rules to have a proper python3 header.

With our moving around of binaries we fixed things that moved between gpsd-clients/gpsd-tools but the move of ubxtool was missed and we need to fix things up on that again.

New depends of gpsd with fix:
Depends: netbase | systemd-sysv, lsb-base (>= 3.2-13), adduser (>= 3.34), libbluetooth3 (>= 4.91), libc6 (>= 2.29), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.9.14), libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.8), libgps26 (= 3.20-10), python3:any (>= 3.5~), python3

Resolved in https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gps-team/pkg-gpsd/-/merge_requests/7
Let us wait for 3.20-11 with that applied.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gpsd - 3.20-11
