[This bug is targeted to the upcoming forky release] The package build-depends or depends on python3-pkg-resources, which is deprecated upstream. Details can be found at https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib.resources and importlib.metadata. Some useful APIs are also provided by packaging (e.g. requirements and version parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work to port to importlib-based solutions. Python 3.13 in unstable provides both importlib.resources and importlib.metadata, so no additional dependencies on those packages are needed. If the package is a namespace package, then please lower the severity again to normal.
This is fixed in git. We can't forward the patch because upstream refrained from using importlib and instead chose to hardcode the version. Kind Regards, Bas
Hi, Can you please upload the pending changes ? Greetings Alexandre
I'm waiting for the next upstream release, RC bug, or upcoming freeze. Maybe Antonio wants to become an uploader of pycsw too. Note that pycsw is in non-free, so you need to upload the amd64.changes instead of source.changes. Kind Regards, Bas
