Bug#1068003: python3-ulmo: Please replace python3-appdirs dependency with platformdirs

Package: python3-ulmo
Version: 0.8.8+dfsg1-3
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,
