Description:
On simply starting Kstars, it presents with the error message "Python process that updates the supernova information failed with error code 1"
This error can be produced in two ways : First, simply start Kstarst from the application menu. Second, try to update supernova data from the nasa server.
In both cases, it is clearly indicated that some python process is failing to update "supernova data".

Additional info:
* package version : 4.11.1-1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Simply starting Kstars presents this error.
2. From the menubar, select Data > From the Update menu, select "Update recent Supernova data"
3. The error message "Python process that updates the supernova information failed with error code 1" appears.
This task depends upon

Thanks, this will be fixed with 4.11.2-1.

Until that, you can edit /usr/share/apps/kstars/scripts/supernova_updates_parser.py and replace '#!/usr/bin/env python' by '#!/usr/bin/env python2'

Thank you for the instruction. I also had to explicitly install kdebindings-python2 to make it work. Thank you once again.
