Bug Description
[ Impact ]
Veusz fails to start under jammy and kinetic.
[ Test Plan ]
* sudo apt install veusz
* veusz
* Observe that veusz fails to start, with the error indicated in the original description
* Enable proposed (https:/
* sudo apt install -t kinetic-proposed veusz
- substitute jammy if testing there
* veusz
* Observe that veusz now starts (try running through the tutorial for a basic functionality test)
[ Regression Potential ]
Pretty low: there are no reverse dependencies for veusz, and the current state is that the application doesn't even start, so there's not much further it can regress.
[ Original Description ]
Attempting to start Veusz on my jammy installation fails. The following is produced as console output:
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/veusz", line 33, in <module>

Attaching a debdiff which incorporates the patches for Python 3.10 compatibility from upstream. I've tested a build of this locally and veusz fires up and works happily with the patches in place. Test packages are currently building in the following PPA:
