Dear Andrej,

While installing another python package, I came across this error
reported about pristine-lfs package, which is why this bug report.

Hi guys,

I had a similar problem.

Maybe you'll be interested in how I fixed it.

I also got

        from __future__ import annotations
        ^
    SyntaxError: future feature annotations is not defined

But, mine happened after

    root$ aptitude reinstall python3-numpy

with version 3.11.2-1 of the python3.11 package
installed.

I fixed it by upgrading

    package                 old                 new
    ------------------------------------------------
    pypy3                   7.3.3+dfsg-4        7.3.11+dfsg-2
    pypy3-lib               7.3.3+dfsg-4        7.3.11+dfsg-2
    python3-virtualenv      20.13.0+ds-1        20.17.1+ds-1

I hope that helps!

Best wishes,
Kingsley
