The upstream bug looks bleak to me: open for 7 months, no upstream comments, no fix suggestions, no workarounds. At this point I would seriously explore dropping B-D on this package, at least until it's fixed upstream. If one or two packages with a dep on it cause transitive problems in many other packages I would focus on those first, but if that's not identified yet it needs to be done first. # Broken Depends: ros2-colcon-core: python3-colcon-core # Broken Build-Depends: astroquery: python3-pytest-rerunfailures dask.distributed: python3-pytest-rerunfailures domdf-python-tools: python3-pytest-rerunfailures hyperspy: python3-pytest-rerunfailures pdm: python3-pytest-rerunfailures pyopenssl: python3-pytest-rerunfailures pytango: python3-pytest-rerunfailures pytest-subprocess: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-amqp: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-cheroot: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-consul: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-dist-meta: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-enum-tools: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-homematicip: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-inotify: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-sdjson: python3-pytest-rerunfailures python-shippinglabel: python3-pytest-rerunfailures > Or any workaround for the packages that are about to be removed from testing > soon? If a package A has a dep, especially a transitive one, on a package B, and B is RC-buggy, there are no workarounds possible in A that would prevent its removal. -- WBR, wRAR
