[Pkg-auth-maintainers] Bug#1099520: yubikey-manager-qt: ImportError: cannot import name '_PrepareUploadFailed' from 'ykman.otp' - Qt application is EOL and uses outdated ykman API

[Tianyu Chen]

Package: yubikey-manager-qt
Version: 1.2.5-1+b1
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: billchenchina2001 at gmail.com, fsfs at debian.org

Dear maintainers,

The ykman-gui application is not working functionally due to an ImportError:

	qml: Cannot import module: yubikey
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	
	  File "qrc:///py/yubikey.py", line 53, in <module>
	    from ykman.otp import (
	    _PrepareUploadFailed as PrepareUploadFailed
	    , _prepare_upload_key as prepare_upload_key, generate_static_pw)
	
	ImportError: cannot import name '_PrepareUploadFailed' from 'ykman.otp' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ykman/otp.py)

This is because ykman-gui is trying to import `_PrepareUploadFailed` from
ykman.otp, which was removed in yubikey-manager versions 5.5.0 and later (see commit
https://github.com/Yubico/yubikey-manager/commit/2bcf81b6dffc9ae6748eb251ff54a864b306e794).
This indicates an incompatibility between the yubikey-manager-qt and the
newer yubikey-manager Python library.

Furthermore, yubikey-manager-qt is End-of-Life (EOL) according to
https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-manager-qt/
> We have officially announced the End of Life of YubiKey Manager (GUI) on
> February 19, 2025, in line with Yubico’s End-of-Life policy. YubiKey
> Manager (GUI) will reach its End of Life on February 19, 2026.

, and its GitHub repository is already archived:
https://github.com/Yubico/yubikey-manager-qt

Please consider remove the package or patching it to make it functional.

Best regards,
Tianyu Chen
