Bug Description
I recently upgraded to hirsute 21.04 and just discovered typecatcher doesn't launch. A couple of web searches implies some deprecated python issues; I don't know what version python I was running in Ubuntu 20.10.
This is what I see when trying to launch it from a terminal:
~$ typecatcher
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/
self.window = TypeCatcherWind
File "/usr/lib/
builder = get_builder(
File "/usr/lib/
builder.
File "/usr/lib/
ele_widgets = tree.getiterato
AttributeError: 'ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getiterator'

I read that font-manager had the feature I needed at the moment so I used the Software Center to install it. For some reason the flatpak version it chose worked at first then crashed. So I uninstalled the flatpak and used apt to install the version in hirsute, which has worked just fine.
I think it's possible I have some weird cruft in my local font caches or somewhere leftover from the upgrade from groovy 20.10.
I successfully used font-manager to install a font in local storage (and font-manager seeing the two Google fonts typecatcher had installed several months ago)
HOWEVER even after a couple of reboots, typecatcher is still crashing on launch.
