[Bug 1850283] Re: python-ldap package prevents python3-only build

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

as matthias has explained, there is license information that only
shipped in the python2 package, but referenced from the python3 package,
hence a hard dependency is there.

However, the python3-ldap package should be usuable under python3 just
fine in the mean time.

You are disliking the fact that python2 is pulled in at all, right? But
python3-ldap otherwise works fine under python3 for you in Bionic?

  python-ldap package prevents python3-only build

Status in python-ldap package in Ubuntu:

Status in python-ldap source package in Bionic:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  By moving away from Python2 following problem occured.

  The package Package: python3-ldap (3.0.0-1) is dependent on 
  Package: python-ldap (3.0.0-1).

  This has a dependency: python interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version)
  python (<< 2.8)
  python (>= 2.7~)

  see https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python-ldap

  We need Canonicals support for a backport the changes from
  https://packages.debian.org/buster/python3-ldap ,which resolves this
  python2 dependency.

  Many thanks in advance.
