Package : jinja2 Version : 2.11.3-1+deb11u2

This update fixes a regression that broke the python-jinja2 package for Python 2.

Note that while this regression has been fixed, running applications with Python 2 continues to be unsupported in Debian 11 bullseye:

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 2.11.3-1+deb11u2.
