Attached is a patch that I used to enable cairo support - note that it needs a small source patch which I have taken from upstream.

I have built this in a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~osmadmins/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and that version is currently running in production on one of the OpenStreetMap tile servers.

The cairo support has been fixed in Debian with python-mapnik (1:0.0~20160412-5b015f2-1).

Upstream has fixed the cairo support for Python 3 since python-mapnik (1:0.0~20160531-f65767a-1).

A backport of the latter is probably a better idea, if Ubuntu doesn't want to provide that. Host the package in the OpenStreetMap PPA.

Tom, could you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates and update this bug for that?

Alternatively, you could take Bas's advice and request a backport instead. Note that you'd need to backport mapnik 3.0.10+ds-1 too.

The problem with a backport of python-mapnik is that it would need a backport of mapnik as the version in yakkety needs mapnik 3.0.12 and xenial only has 3.0.9 currently...
