pg_activity fails with TypeError on start

Hi,

OS: Devuan beowulf (equivalent to Debian buster)

Package: pg-activity=2.1.0-1.pgdg100+1

I have the latest version of pg-activity installed from the buster-pgdg
repository and it fails on startup with a TypeError.

$ pg_activity
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pg_activity", line 321, in <module>

I can see in the package information that the upstream source is listed
as https://github.com/julmon/pg_activity. That repository mentions
that it is a fork of the original upstream at
https://github.com/dalibo/pg_activity.

I have tested the latest version of pg_activity 2.1.5 from
https://github.com/dalibo/pg_activity installed via pip in a python3.7
virtual environment and it starts properly without any error.

Can the pg-activity package please be updated to the latest version
2.1.5 from https://github.com/dalibo/pg_activity?

Thanks,
Tom

Indeed, this got fixed in version 2.1.4 (GH issue 203).

Thanks. How do we get the apt pgdg repo package updated? Should I
submit a bug on bugs.debian.org for the pg-activity package?

Right, or poke the repository directly:

https://salsa.debian.org/kolter/pg-activity

(There is some internal error atm, but that's hopefully transient.)
