Bug#621483: python-vte: Removal of reaper API breaks python-apt

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: python-vte
Version: 1:0.24.3-2
Severity: important

You're breaking python-apt's gtk2 progress module with the removal
of the reaper API.

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/progress/gtk2.py", line 373, in __init__
    self._progress_install = GInstallProgress(self._terminal)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/progress/gtk2.py", line 130, in __init__
    reaper = vte.reaper_get()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'reaper_get'

Please tell us how to fix this in python-apt. Best would be
to re-add the patch for the meantime, to not hinder the
python3 transition. Once the python3 transition is over,
removing the patch and adding

	Breaks: python-apt (<< 0.8.0~exp2)

	[ that's the version a fix would land in]

would be a good idea. This might still get it coupled with
the python-apt API transition, though.
