Package: src:alot Version: 0.6-2 Severity: important python-magic maintainer here ...
Dear Maintainer,
as announced in debian-devel two weeks ago, the python-magic libary
will switch upstream, from the one provided by src:file to the one
found in PyPI, written by Adam Hupp.
A rebuild of the known rdeps showed src:alot will no longer build then.
Since however alot is currently patched to work with the file-based
implementation, this can easily be cured by just dropping that patch.
The new python-magic implementation will hit unstable very soon,
causing your package to FTBFS. So I'm asking you to prepare for this by
* droping 0002-debian-Use-file-magic-instead-of-python-magic-in-set.patch,
* adding a versioned build dependency on python-magic (>= 2:0.4.15) as
a hint for backporters
Sorry if this is a bit on short notice.
Christoph
