[Bug 1540353] Re: xargs: invalid number for -s option

[Scott Emmons]

Xenial currently has python 3.5 (not python 3.4) and at a version where
the upstream bug[1] should be fixed.

Title:
  xargs: invalid number for -s option

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in python3.4 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in python3.5 package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I ran "sudo apt-get autoremove" and when python3.4 and
  libpython3.4-minimal:amd64 were removed, the following error was shown
  on the screen:

  Removing python3.4-minimal (3.4.4-1) ...
  Unlinking and removing bytecode for runtime python3.4
  Removing libpython3.4-minimal:amd64 (3.4.4-1) ...
  xargs: invalid number for -s option
  Usage: xargs [OPTION]... COMMAND [INITIAL-ARGS]...
  Run COMMAND with arguments INITIAL-ARGS and more arguments read from input.

  ...followed by instructions on how to use xargs properly.

  Probably some maintainer scripting errors?
