Hello Debian Fonts Task Force,

There is a circular dependency between python3-defcon, python3-fonttools and python3-ufolib2:

python3-defcon 	:Depends: python3-fonttools (>= 4.26.2)
python3-fonttools 	:Depends: python3-ufolib2 (>= 0.12.1), python3-defcon (>= 0.6.0)
python3-ufolib2 	:Depends: python3-fonttools (>= 4.29.1)

Complex circular dependencies are known to cause problems during upgrade, so we
should try to avoid them.

Cheers,

This is an upstream issue. These python libraries do have code
dependencies on each other.

Thank you,
