After updating python3-urllib3 to 2.8.0 from current sid, streamlink
fails on any site with (varying url):

error: Unable to open URL: https://gql.twitch.tv/gql (type object 'Urllib3UtilUrlPercentReOverride' has no attribute 'sub')

This is upstream issue
https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/7116 and fixed in
streamlink 8.6.1.

Thx,
    Ingo
