[arch-general] Could python2 be breaking genpkgmetadata.py?

[Auguste Pop]

the package you mentioned is orphaned and marked out-of-date. i think
you can simply adopt and update it. change the PYTHON variable in
Makefile to python2 and several shebang lines in .py files may solve
the breakage. of course, you need to change the dependency from python
to python2.
