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.

** Description changed:

- When trying to use Python extensions I get the following error message
- in the console:
+ [ Inpact ]
+ * Python extensions don't start (unless python-is-python2
+   is installed)
  
- Can't Spawn!!! spawn returns: Failed to execute child process “” (No
- such file or directory)
+ [ Test Case ]
+ * open inkscape
+ * try to run Extensions → Text → Lorem ipsum → Apply (just as an example)
  
- This seems to be caused by a missing /usr/bin/python. It works if I
- create a symlink, but I'm not sure if Inkscape expects python2 or
- python3.
+ without this update or pyhon-is-python2 nothing happens (a quick error
+ windows appear and disappears, on the console it says
