[Debian-pan-maintainers] Bug#1145861: Patch available at Salsa

[Rafael Laboissière]

Control: tags -1 + patch upstream fixed-upstream

This issue is caused by the removal of the Python 2 compatibility macros in version 4.5.0 of SWIG. [1] According to the SWIG authors, these macros were retained in the generated code (pyhead.swg) solely for user typemaps. All typemap using these macros are updated to call the Python 3 C API directly.

I submitted a patch for fixing the issue as a merge request at Salsa [2]. It was taken from the upstream Git repository (commit 09dcb897 [3]). This commit is included in the newest upstream release 4.3.0, so it should also be possible to get rid of the FTBFS bug by upgrading the Debian package.

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
