Yes, something weird happened; I don't know why python3-qdarkstyle was
allowed to migrate to testing and break spyder.

But anyway, spyder is a complete mess right now because of the python
3.11 transition, and this is the least of the problems :(  When I am
able to upgrade to spyder 5.4.0, it uses the python3-qdarkstyle
currently in testing, so all will be OK again.  But it may well be
several weeks before that happens.

Best wishes,
