[Bug 1666334] Re: deb package python3-zope.interface somehow breaks pip

[Simon Quigley]

Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses#Release_has_reached_End_of_Life_.28EOL.29

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04?

** Changed in: zope.interface (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Incomplete
