Dear Maintainer,

Earlier this evening, I upgraded python3-pil 10.4.0-1.1 -> 11.1.0-1. Since
then, liquidctl exits immediately with an ImportError:

[schwarzgerat](0) $ liquidctl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/liquidctl", line 5, in <module>
    from liquidctl.cli import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/liquidctl/__init__.py", line 67, in

    from liquidctl.driver import find_liquidctl_devices

Hi Nick,

Can you please try upgrading your system? It was #1093826 [1] I
believe, a bug in python3-pil itself.
