What I initially tried
After I discovered that the issue was a difference in the
bzrpackage between Ubuntu versions, I tried to build abzr-legacyDebian package for Focal and Jammy that I could host in a PPA on Launchpad. However, I got hung up because many of the build dependencies are no longer available in the Ubuntu package archives (joys of working with older software).debmakeworked nicely for me, butdebuildrefused to make the package due to the missing dependencies.Solution
I decided to use
pyenvto install Python 3.10.4 and 2.7.15 side-by-side, installparamikoandpycryptointo 2.7.15, download the Bazaar source code from Launchpad, and then install Bazaar manually.Next steps/future work
Current solution is rather ugly (lots of steps involved), so in the future I would like to trim it down a bit. Unfortunately, without setting up a whole dedicated legacy PPA to GNU Bazaar (not Breezy), we probably will not be able to build a Debian package to provide Bazaar.
To circumvent this issue without needing
pyenvor a legacy Debian package, we will need to deal with these two problem children inpy3-clients-requirements.txtto avoid theAttributeErrormentioned in #55:
