[Bug 1013171] Re: Many package hooks not ported to python3

[Edward Donovan]

mysql-5.5 has a print statement that needed fixing.  This patch also
changes unicode() to str(), as 2to3 suggests -- whether that's really
called for, I'll leave for someone else to decide.  Thanks.


** Description changed:

  Since the description here is the only post that can be updated, it
- seems the best place to keep a changing list.  (The original description
- was brief, and about only one package.)
+ seems the best place to keep a list of packages that need examining.
+ (The original description was brief, and about only one package.)
  
- Working from the archive's Contents file, I got the list of packages
- that keep files under apport/package-hooks.  Below are the packages that
- haven't been tested yet, to my knowledge.  As I get time, I'll test them
- with 2to3, and update the list.  And try to post patches as needed.
+ We've fixed all the packages that I could find in the apt logs uploaded
+ in the first round of breakage.  Now I've tried to review all the other
+ apport hooks I could find in Quantal.  Working from the archive's
+ Contents file, I got the list of packages that have files under
+ /usr/share/apport/package-hooks .  I skipped the packages already fixed
+ above, and those that were on my system, during the first round of
+ breakage, and had no problems.  For the rest, I downloaded the debs,
+ extracted the apport hooks, and ran '2to3' on them.  I've posted patches
+ for a number of these, and some, listed below, need patches, or at least
+ another look.

+   mythtv-common
+ 
+ These packages never broke, they just got warnings from the 2to3 tool:
+ 
+   compiz-core
+   eclipse-platform
+   gnome-control-center-data
+   gnome-settings-daemon
+   grub-common
+   nautilus-data
+   unity-common
+   apache2.2-common
+ 
+ Side note:
+ 
+   rss-glx: the python is fine, but the hook file is just named 'source',
+ with no package name or extension, so it'll probably be good to file a
+ little bug about that.  I'll try to do that later.
