Subject: printrun: Please replace python3-appdirs dependency with platformdirs

Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 14:59:20 +0000

Package: printrun-common
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: important
Control: block 1060427 by -1
Tags: trixie sid
User: debian-python@lists.debian.org
Usertags: appdirs-removal

python3-appdirs is dead upstream[1] and its Debian maintainer has indicated
that it should not be included in trixie[2]. A recommended replacement is
python3-platformdirs[3], which is a fork of appdirs with a very similar API.

Please migrate from appdirs to platformdirs or some other replacement,
so that appdirs can be removed.

Thanks,
    smcv

Dear Simon,

Thanks for your report. Printrun will not make it into Trixie anyway due
to bug #1050157 [1] so IMHO it should not block appdirs removal from
Trixie. I will report this upstream though so they migrate to a newer
library.

Thanks a lot,
