Description

Hi,
Debian 11 (bullseye) has removed the "python" package and the '/usr/bin/python' symlink due to the deprecation of Python 2.

we've installed package 'python-is-python3' to manage python script because many tools (Icinga, etc) working only with python 3.x on Debian 11.

but unfortunately  this package make dependency conflict with hive package:

python-is-python3

Depends: python3
Breaks: python, python-is-python2, python-is-python2-but-deprecated, python-minimal
Replaces: python, python-is-python2, python-is-python2-but-deprecated, python-minimal

hive

Depends: adduser, hadoop-client, bigtop-utils (>= 0.7), zookeeper, hive-jdbc (= 3.1.2-3), python

hive-hcatalog

Depends: hadoop, hive, bigtop-utils (>= 0.6), python

Could you please change ptyhon to python2.7 or would be better to python3 (if possible)

Thanks in advance
Zoltan
