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

[Edward Donovan]

** Description changed:

  Since the description here is the only post that can be updated, it
  seems the best place to keep a changing list of packages that need
  examining.  (The original description was brief, and about only one
  package.)
  
  We've fixed all the packages that found 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 every package
  that broke under python3.
  
  Thanks - Edward Donovan <edward.donovan at numble.net>
  
  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.
+ with no package name or extension, so I filed bug 1017780 about that.
