[Bug 1715062] Re: package python-six 1.10.0-3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Colin Watson]

I'm afraid we don't support running with /usr/bin/python pointing to
Python 3.  For Python 3 you should use /usr/bin/python3.

I'm reassigning this to python-defaults just because it might be a good
idea for /usr/bin/pycompile, /usr/bin/pyclean, and the other scripts
shipped by python-minimal to explicitly use /usr/bin/python2 rather than
/usr/bin/python, to defend against this kind of thing.  It wouldn't make
it OK to change /usr/bin/python to be Python 3 on Ubuntu, and you'd
probably still run into some other problem later, but it might still be
a sensible thing to do in terms of defensive programming.

** Package changed: six (Ubuntu) => python-defaults (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: python-defaults (Ubuntu)
