SyntaxWarning at install

[Cédric M. Campos]

Installing in a fresh-up-to-date Focal Fossa gives:

Configurando onboard (1.4.1-2ubuntu7) ...
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Onboard/LayoutLoaderSVG.py:447: SyntaxWarning: 'str' object is not callable; perhaps you missed a comma?
  raise Exceptions.LayoutFileError("Unrecognized modifier %s in" \

[Cédric M. Campos (cedricmc)]

I believe onboard is not to blame, other python-based packages are giving similar warnings during install, e.g. sagemath.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

I'm seeing much more than that, installing on noble:
