Package: snakemake
Version: 7.32.4-2
Severity: important
Control: block 1060427 by -1
Tags: trixie sid
User: debian-python at 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
