[Bug 1581643] [NEW] Please backport gramps 5.0.1-1 (universe) from disco

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ross Gammon (rosco2):

Please backport gramps 5.0.1-1 (universe) from disco to cosmic.

Reason for the backport:
========================
To have the latest Gramps from the 5.0 upstream branch in the latest Ubuntu releases. Gramps 5.0 allows the use of an SQL database back end in addition to the traditional BSDDB.

Please note that the Gramps code is currently not relocatable, and
thereofre it is not possible to distribute Gramps as a wheel (pip),
flatpak, or snap.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s disco -d cosmic gramps

* cosmic:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] gramps installs cleanly and runs

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of gramps. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new gramps. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new gramps installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

gramps
------
* edubuntu-desktop
[-] bionic (Reverse-Recommends) - Edubuntu is no longer an official Release Flavour, so I am not able to do a fresh install. In any case, this is just a metapackage, so it only installs gramps as well as lots of other packages.
