Comment 3 for bug 1987420

This bug was fixed in the package pexpect - 4.8.0-3ubuntu1

---------------
pexpect (4.8.0-3ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1987420). Remaining changes:
    - d/test/control: Keep needs-root Restriction, to fix flaky tests:
      "test_run_event_as_function/_method"
  * Work around an issue in bash (LP: 1097467) which causes --rcfile to
    override the user .bashrc but not the system-wide /etc/bash.bashrc. This
    affects the pexpect test-suite under environments in which the system-wide
    bashrc causes interactive shells to output additional preamble. Instead,
    use --norc (which suppresses both user and system-wide bashrc) and change
    PS1 via the environment.

pexpect (4.8.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Set upstream metadata fields: Repository, Repository-Browse.
  * Remove constraints unnecessary since buster:
    + python-pexpect-doc: Drop versioned constraint on python-pexpect in
      Replaces.
    + python-pexpect-doc: Drop versioned constraint on python-pexpect in Breaks.
