wxpython-4-0-7 is lacking some int() casting fixes - patch provided

[Markus Neteler]

GRASS GIS 8.2.1 (maybe others) show `float()` related error messages leading to missing icons etc.

The reason are int() cast fixes missing from the Ubuntu wxpython 4.0.7 package.

I have cherry-picked them from the respective Fedora 4.0.7 package which is more recent (and already tested with GRASS GIS):

https://data.neteler.org/tmp/wxpython_int_fixes6.patch

(the demo/ part of the patch may be omitted)

--> see also attachment for a combined file.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and include a patch. Looking at the source code for wxpython4.0 I can see that this is fixed in the development release of Ubuntu so I'll be marking this as Fix Released. Ubuntu 22.04 is still affected this so we could consider fixing this in a stable release update, however to do that we'd need to follow the process documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates - primarily having a test case for the bug report and information about where the changes might introduce a regression. I'll subscribe to the bug report and would be happy to upload the changes necessary to Ubuntu to fix this provided you take care of updating the bug report so it is suitable for SRU'ing. Thanks!

Brian, Fully understood.

Since it is a GUI regression, I can only provide a "do this, click there" description for reproducing the issue. Would that be ok?

Here a command line trigger of the error, when lacking the patch:

grass --tmp-location XY --exec g.gui
GRASS_INFO_ERROR(97520,1): Rect.SetHeight(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'
GRASS_INFO_END(97520,1)

Applying the attached path solved it.
