[Python-apps-team] Bug#976245: mugshot: Muhshot fails with AttributeError: 'ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getiterator' in console

[Juozas Pocius]

Package: mugshot
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: juozaspo at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I'm unable to run mugshot, as it fails with error in console as shown below
It triggers a python3 error when trying to run it, with python 3.9 as default,
window does not open, so I'm unable to edit user information.

Terminal output:
$ mugshot
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mugshot", line 36, in <module>
    mugshot.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot/__init__.py", line 47, in main
    window = MugshotWindow.MugshotWindow()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot_lib/Window.py", line 51, in
__new__
    builder = get_builder('MugshotWindow')
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot_lib/helpers.py", line 43, in
get_builder
    builder.add_from_file(ui_filename)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mugshot_lib/Builder.py", line 92, in
add_from_file
    ele_widgets = tree.getiterator("object")
AttributeError: 'ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getiterator'
