I was going to work on the RC bug of pyke about unsatisfiable dependencies in
sid (#799577) (I'm not using pyke anymore so unfortunately I did not
discovered this before: thanks Barry for spotting this!) and I discovered what
you already explained here: pyke is no longer compatible with ply and it seems
to be death upstream (although upstream seems still active on the Sourceforge
forums).
I wrote to upstream asking if there is a plan for a new version of pyke:
https://sourceforge.net/p/pyke/discussion/744447/thread/fe27b26a/
but I agree with Barry: it should be removed from the archive. It is already
on the autoremoval list for testing and after the upload of science-machine-
learning it can be removed from unstable
Maybe we should wait a bit to see if upstream will reply.
I can fill the RM bug, for the ftp-team should be easier to handle the RM if
the request came from the maintainer, right?
Please tell me what do you think about!
Kind regards,
