[Python-apps-team] Bug#977324: doesn't run: 'xml.etree.ElementTree.Element' object has no attribute 'getchildren'

[John Scott]

Package: ocrfeeder
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: important

Except that I'm on a KDE Plasma system and might be missing some GNOMEy libraries,
I can't think of any particularities of my Bullseye system. I just installed
OCRFeeder and right away it says
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ocrfeeder", line 36, in <module>
    studio = Studio()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/studio/studioBuilder.py", line 76, in __init__
    self.ocr_engines_manager.makeEnginesFromFolder(user_engines_folder)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/feeder/ocrEngines.py", line 197, in makeEnginesFromFolder
    engine = self.getEngineFromXml(xml_file)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/feeder/ocrEngines.py", line 236, in getEngineFromXml
    for child in root_node.getchildren():
AttributeError: 'xml.etree.ElementTree.Element' object has no attribute 'getchildren'

Maybe this was broken by python3-lxml?
