Package: python3-setuptools
Version: 84.0.0-2
Severity: grave
The update of python3-setuptools on Sid from version 80.9.0-2 to
84.0.0-2 dropped the dependency on python3-pkg-resources. This may have
been planned for nearly two years (bug #1083766), but it seems deluge
(python-based torrent client) wasn't ready and is now broken. Reverting
python3-setuptools to version 80.9.0-2, which pulls python3-pkg-
resources back in, fixes deluge.
When I say deluge is broken, I mean it simply won't load. Trying to
load on the command line produces the following output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
