Notably, updating *just* up2date brings in python-2.2, but leaves out the python2 versions of python-popt and python-clap; so up2date doesn't work anymore.
Hopefully today popt/clap are going away in favor of python-optik. I am not aware of anybody else using popt/clap, we could remove them from Milan I suppose.
should no longer be an issue with current version (say. 2.9.39)
Indeed fixed with the move over to python-optik.
