I have read https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal and the linked
pages. Are there any other instructions?
$ apt-cache showsrc ginac|grep Depends
Build-Depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.28), debhelper (>= 9), libcln-dev,
libgmp-dev, libreadline-dev, pkg-config (>= 0.18) | pkgconf,
dh-autoreconf, python, texinfo
That 'python' package it depends on is a dependency package. Isn't it
going to depend on Debian's Python3, so /usr/bin/python will mean Python
3, as e.g. in Fedora 31?
If the python command is going to be python3, then I suppose we can
close this bug. (I've checked that the package can be built on a box
where python3 has been made the default.)
If the python command isn't going to be python3, then I'll update the
build-dependencies ASAP. And then this fact ought to be prominently
documented and explained in the instructions so to support this transition.
