Remove python-appindicator and gir1.2-appindicator-0.1

[Jeremy Bícha]

gir1.2-appindicator-0.1 has no reverse dependencies (it is for gtk2 GObject Introspection)

There are only 2 packages that recommend python-appindicator. It would be trivial to drop the recommends. Those 2 packages (deluge and
gtk-recordmydesktop) will probably be removed from Debian approx. September 2019 because they use pygtk.

$ reverse-depends python-appindicator
Reverse-Recommends
==================
* deluge-gtk
* gtk-recordmydesktop

previous reverse depends
-----------------------
* cherrytree — dependency on python-appindicator was dropped early in bionic. RM requested in LP: #1731725
* hamster-indicator - source package was removed (LP: #1739797)

Is this still planned for the 20.04 cycle?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package libappindicator - 12.10.1+18.04.20180322.1-0ubuntu5

---------------
libappindicator (12.10.1+18.04.20180322.1-0ubuntu5) focal; urgency=medium

  * configure.ac: require gio-unix-2.0, it's need for gdesktopappinfo
    which was added in one of the recent uploads
