Python extensions does not work

That version of inkscape wants python2, but please don't randomly create symlinks, there is a "python-is-python2" package for it (likewise, there is also a python-is-python3 package). Formally, neither of them is supported, and everything from within the official archive must not use either of them.

Here is the proposed debdiff, already uploaded.

Hello Lars, or anyone else affected,

Accepted inkscape into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/0.92.5-1ubuntu1.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Version 0.92.5-1ubuntu1.1 does fix the problem for me. Thanks.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for inkscape has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package inkscape - 0.92.5-1ubuntu1.1
