Triage and migration report (2020-01-15)

[Bryce Harrington]

## Proposed Migration

Triggered rebuilds for bunch of packages that no one had triggered yet.
This appears to have cleared apache2 and piuparts (I think?).

blinker:
  - Change being uploaded drops the python2 support
  - It depends on nose (python3-nose), which appears to be stuck in
    migration due to having a python2 component, so...

nose:
  - This looks like the usual needs-py2-support-dropped package.
  - Unfortunately, in this case the upstream codebase hasn't been
    updated for python3.  E.g. nose/core.py has python2-style print
    statements instead of python3 print() function calls, and
    sphinx errors on this during debuild.
  - I've got the debian changes to drop py2 done (I think), but fixing
    the upstream code to convert to python3 may be a bigger project.
  - Filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nose/+bug/1859880
    with 'update-excuse'
  - Added Trello card for myself

python-pymysql:
  - This isn't on our team board, but Christian said Doko asked us to
    look into it since its log shows a mysql8 error.  This looks similar
    to php7.3's LP: #1850190.
  - I fixed the error in question, but there seems to be a number of
    other mysql8 changes required in order to get it built
    successfully, and I've not reached the end of these yet.
  - There's already a bug about this (against Eoan); I've assigned
    myself the focal task.

## Triage
Found 26 bugs

Most are updates from team members or already tended to.
Just a few of note I spent time on:

LP: #1859395 - (New)            [xen]            - libxen-4.9: missing libxenstat
* User didn't describe their problem very clearly, sounded like they
  were reporting that an .so was not getting installed.  In truth it is
  getting installed, but by xen-utils-4.9, rather than by libxen-4.9.
  However installing the utils package installs grub and several other
  packages, which the reporter complains is "huge bloat just to compile
  a little util"
--> Restructuring packages seems more a Debian activity, and recommended
  they approach Debian about this.  I don't see this as something we'd
  take on for Ubuntu.
--> Marked Wishlist.

LP: #1434428 - (Confirmed)      [etckeeper]      - add cups/printer.conf* to .gitignore?
* Actually is an apparently well known CUPS limitation that it
  continuously updates the timestamp inside the config file, causing it
  to false positive etckeeper that it's changed.
--> Marked as dupe of corresponding CUPS bug.

LP: #1859545 - (Incomplete)     [qemu]           - Sticky keys repeat indefinitely unless if pressed again
* An X bug again.  I recognize this one
--> Linked to the X bug.  Recommended workaround of disabling keyboard
    repeat (I don't know the right way to do this in XFCE but gave the
    xset command just in case.)

LP: #1856248 - (Confirmed)      [spamassassin]   - Spamassassin needs updated to reflect security fixes
* Only still open for Trusty, and security team seems to be handling
  this
--> no action
