However it is accompanied by a number of useful, but optional, scripts primarily in Python, which are shipped in the xxdiff-scripts package. These have not yet been converted to Python3. I considered simply dropping the xxdiff-scripts package, but as the Python2 interpreter seems to stay around for the bullseye release, I think it is in the interest of our users to keep xxdiff-scripts until upstream gets around to make the conversion to Python3 or Python2 goes away for good. To that effect, I'm lowering the severity of this bug. I've uploaded a modified xxdiff that does not depend on the python package or the existence of /usr/bin/python. Florian
