Bug Description
[ Inpact ]
* Python extensions don't start (unless python-is-python2
is installed)
[ Test Case ]
* open inkscape
* try to run Extensions → Text → Lorem ipsum → Apply (just as an example)
without this update or pyhon-is-python2 nothing happens (a quick error windows appear and disappears, on the console it says
Can't Spawn!!! spawn returns: Failed to execute child process “”
(No such file or directory)
[ Regression Potential ]
* Running python extensions can't really get any worse.

That version of inkscape wants python2, but please don't randomly create symlinks, there is a "python-is-python2" package for it (likewise, there is also a python-is-python3 package). Formally, neither of them is supported, and everything from within the official archive must not use either of them.
