@pander It's very unlikely Inkscape 1.0 will ever go into -updates. 1.0 changed many things, including the command line options, that *do* break other packages (just two days ago, a fellow Debian Developer wrote to me about this). Unfortunately, Inkscape 1.0 came too late to be included in Ubuntu 20.04.
The Ubuntu backports project is basically dead, and has been so for years. If anybody ever revive it I'll gladly upload Inkscape there, but don't hope too much. It's easier to just use the PPA. Lastly, it's not true that "This Ubuntu release should not depend on Python 2". Python 2 has not been removed, what has been removed is the unversioned /usr/bin/python binary, but `python2` is still there. We went a long way trying to remove python2, but there are still too many packages depending on it that we didn't make it in time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu.
