Description jorgicio 2019-03-30 20:29:33 UTC
Hi!

As mentioned in the issue #680950, the reason of that Python3 support for both packages is not available. In the PYTHON_COMPAT variable (for 1.22.x ebuilds of both packages), only says "python2_7", but not python3_x, which causes the previously mentioned bug.

In fact, Python 3 support is a new upstream feature for caja-dropbox and python-caja since the 1.22.x release, so please, keep in mind fix both ebuilds adding the python3_x keywords.

Thanks.

PS: Taken from the MATE 1.22 page:

«We've fully ported a number of programs to Python 3, including the eye of MATE and python-caja plugin libraries, as well as the mate-menus library»

Reproducible: Always

My bad: python-caja still requires Python 2 only, and caja-dropbox deprecated Python 2 and uses Python 3 instead.
