[Pkg-auth-maintainers] Bug#998641: python-yubico-tools: yubikey-totp broken with Python 3.9 (Debian bullseye)

[Marc Donges]

Package: python-yubico-tools
Version: 1.3.3-0.3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: pere at hungry.com

yubikey-totp is broken with the version of Python (3.9) that is current in Debian bullseye. Petter Reinholdtsen discovered this in a discussion of bug #965059 [1] and provided a patch there [2]. With the patch it works fine for me.

Output from yubikey-totp:

----->8
% yubikey-totp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yubikey-totp", line 132, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/bin/yubikey-totp", line 120, in main
    otp = make_totp(args)
  File "/usr/bin/yubikey-totp", line 106, in make_totp
    secret = struct.pack("> Q", args.time / args.step).ljust(64, chr(0x0))
struct.error: required argument is not an integer
%
----->8

Expected output (output after patch):

----->8
% yubikey-totp
----->8

Here it waits for a keypress on the hardware token.

I set the severity to important because yubikey-totp is unusable.

Kind regards
Marc
