[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#937253: pbbarcode: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye

[Andreas Tille]

Control: tags -1 - pending
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: retitle -1 ROM: Please remove pbbarcode from the archive

Hi,

I managed to get rid of the pbh5tools dependency but this does not
finally help since the recent version of pbcore does not support
some features any more.  In the current form in Git just calling

     pbbarcode
..
  leads to
..
     ImportError: cannot import name 'BaxH5Reader' from 'pbcore.io' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pbcore/io/__init__.py)



Thus I hereby asking for removal of this package.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
