[Bug 1760608] Re: [Tweak] Needs an indexing fix

[Norbert]

For 16.04 LTS xenial the copy command should be:

`sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.5/configparser.py
/usr/lib/python3.5/ConfigParser.py`

Did so. If any axi-related problem will occur - I'll report it here.

Thank you @dino99!

And if it is possible, please pull this change as SRU to all current
supported releases.

Title:
  [Tweak] Needs an indexing fix

Status in apt-xapian-index package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This apply to synaptic, which use it for the 'quick search' feature.
  Sadly Debian have orphaned that package due to a missed maintainer.
  That is bad as many users consider synaptic as the best managing tool
  for the 'gnome' DE, and 'muon' still use that index too for the KDE
  DE.

  Actual indexing is not complete and the partial python3 port let an
  unknown path.

  oem at lapubu:~$ axi-cache info
  No module named 'ConfigParser': only help functions are implemented, for the sake of help2man

  Finding location
  - ConfigParser.py found into /usr/lib/python2.7
  - configparser.py found into /usr/lib/python3.6

  As the axi-cache script request ConfigParser.py, then give it
  satisfaction:

  oem at lapubu:~$ sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.6/configparser.py /usr/lib/python3.6/ConfigParser.py
  [sudo] Mot de passe de oem :

  So the error is gone now, but seeing some 'needs indexing'; let checking it:

  oem at lapubu:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index --update --quiet

  Well all are now working as expected.

  The 18.10 cycle will hopefully get the complete python3 porting done;
  but until this dirty hack will do the trick.
