This bug is rated medium and it has been over a year. Here is what I get in Ubuntu 17.10:
$ apt show powerline Package: powerline Version: 2.5-1.1 Priority: optional Section: universe/python Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Jerome Charaoui <jer...@riseup.net> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Installed-Size: 251 kB Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~), libc6 (>= 2.4), python-powerline Recommends: fonts-powerline, python3-powerline Suggests: python-powerline-doc, vim-addon-manager Breaks: python-powerline (<< 0~20140216-2) Replaces: python-powerline (<< 0~20140216-2) Enhances: awesome, bash, ipython, tmux, vim-nox, zsh Homepage: https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline Download-Size: 42.5 kB APT-Sources: http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/universe amd64 Packages Description: prompt and statusline utility Powerline is a statusline plugin for vim, and provides statuslines and prompts for several other applications, including zsh, bash, tmux, IPython, Awesome and Qtile. . This package contains the Powerline executables. $ sudo apt install -y python3-powerline ... $ powerline The program 'powerline' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt install powerline $ sudo apt install -y powerline ... The following NEW packages will be installed: fonts-powerline powerline python-powerline python-psutil ... $ Is it correct to assume that the desire to move Ubuntu to Python3 in 16.04 has lost almost all of its momentum. If this is indeed still a priority, it would be nice to get this resolved before 18.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575802 Title: default dependancy should be python3-powerline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1575802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
