I see that a new version of celery has been uploaded. Unfortunately,
that still fails¹.

As it seems the attempt is to have celery work with the newer version of
kombu, I think the right course of action is that kombu now adds a
"Breaks: celery (<< 4.2.1-1~)". If that happens, I'll help ci.d.n to
test the right combination, because due to bug #896023 (autopkgtest)
just adding the breaks will not automatically do the right thing.

What do you think?

Paul
