Bug#931851: pysolfc: pythonfc fails to start since python upgrades, new version with fix available upstream

[Cindy Sue Causey]

Package: pysolfc
Version: 2.0-4
Followup-For: Bug #931851

Dear Maintainer(s),

Hi! Thank you all so much for an embarassing number of hours of game playing enjoyment, primarily k/t Balarama, Mahjongg, and Freecell. Am writing just to confirm that I also experienced what appears to be the exact same failure to start as defined in original bug report.

After pysolfc failed a couple times via the Applications menu route, I, too, attempted to start it via the terminal command line. My instance's command line failure feedback appears to read exactly the same.

Version is current and newly installed via a Debian Bullseye testing debootstrap just a few days ago. Basically the only difference I'm seeing is that I most likely would not have been able to determine this was about a change in Python had I filed the initial bug. Kudos @ Heinz for being able to supply that critically important detail. :)

Thank you all again!
