Please unblock package pd-purest-json at the beginning of march 2021, a bug was discovered in the pd-purest-json package that prevents it from reading JSON-files. the package itself is mainly used for interacting with RESTful APIs from within the Pure Data programming language (package "puredata"), for which the broken functionality does not really matter. however, the "other task" provided by this package is "working with JSON data", for which the task of reading JSON-file could be considered crucial. for whatever reasons the bug-report has not been escalated to RC yet. as you can see from the debdiff, the change is rather minimal and trivial. due to the nature of the Pure Data ecosystem, virtually no "applications" are packaged, making the "pd-purest-json" package a leaf package. as such, i don't expect any direct impact on any other Debian package whatsoever. cheers and thanks for all the good work. unblock pd-purest-json/1.4.3-2
