[Bug 2028054] Re: [MIR] python-rlpycairo

[Steve Langasek]

The python-reportlab demotion happened because the deb-based cups stack
had been demoted in favor of snaps.  This has been reverted, so this
needs to be addressed again.

** Changed in: python-rlpycairo (Ubuntu)
       Status: Won't Fix => New

Title:
  [MIR] python-rlpycairo

Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in python-reportlab package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in python-rlpycairo package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  python-rlpycairo is a new dependency of python-reportlab (currently
  owned by Foundations).

  The only consumer of python-reportlab is hplip (owned by Desktop),
  apparently it needs it for scanning: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651240

  $ reverse-depends src:python-reportlab -c main -r mantic
  Reverse-Depends
  ===============
  * hplip                         (for python3-reportlab)

  Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:
  amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x

  src:hplip -> src:python-reportlab -> src:python-rlpycairo ->
  src:freetype-py & src:ttf-bitstream-vera

  So from the above, it sounds like this new dependency is actually
  needed (after the reportlab package dropped its renderpm extension).
  It should be discussed between Foundations and Desktop who's owning
  those dependencies and doing the MIRs for python-rlpycairo, freetype-
  py and ttf-bitstream-vera
