[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#912953: wicd-daemon: depends on deprecated python-gobject-2

[Simon McVittie]

Package: wicd-daemon
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6
Severity: important
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs pygobject-2

wicd-daemon depends on python-gobject-2, which is the old "static"
Python binding for GLib and GObject.

python-gobject-2 is only available for Python 2, and is unmaintained
upstream. Python 2 will also reach end-of-life upstream during the
lifetime of Debian 10 'buster'. Please port dependent packages to use
PyGI (the python-gi or python3-gi packages in Debian), which is the
GObject-Introspection-based replacement for python-gobject-2.

More information about porting from the static bindings is available here:
https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/porting.html

python-gobject-2 and Python 2 will probably be removed from Debian during
the bullseye release cycle, so the severity of this bug is likely to be
increased to serious after the buster release.

Thanks,
