Dear Maintainer,
Running vitables (version 3.0.2-4 from sid) results in the following
Python traceback:

raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'blosc2>=2.3.0' distribution was not
found and is required by tables
I believe the problem is that when vitables starts to look for plugins,
the pkg_resource module examines the vitable package requirements (contained in
/usr/share/vitables/ViTables-3.0.2.egg-info/requires.txt), which
leads it to the tables package and to its METADATA file
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tables-3.9.2.dist-info/METADATA
which contains 'Requires-Dist: blosc2 >=2.3.0'.
Now, the tables package (packaged as the Debian packages python3-tables,
python3-tables-lib, python3-tables-data, or source package pytables)
doesn't actually use the Python bindings in the Python package blosc2,
as per its documentation, but only the C library and headers that
package provides (as a convenience). Python3-tables-lib instead is built
directly with libblosc2-2 (which should be fine).
Basically, Debian requirements aren't matching the requirements
declared by Python. I'll file a separate bug against python3-tables.
(As a side note: this is about the third Python app package I've filed
a bug against for crashing while _starting_ the program. Please!
Actually try to run things before uploading!!)
