Package: python-incremental
Version: 16.10.1-3
Severity: serious
Tags: bullseye, sid, patch
python-incremental recommends, the incremental source package build-depends on
and the incremental autopkgtests depend on python-click. Python-click in turn
depends on the python-colorama binary package, which is no longer built by the
python-colorama source package. It is still present in testing as a cruft
package, but is completely gone from unstable.
The long-term solution to this would be to drop python2 support, however I do
not think that is practical at this time. In particular python-twisted depends
on python-incremental and the python-twisted python 2 removal bug still has a
whole bunch of blockers.
From grepping the code it looks like python-incremental only uses python-click
for the update script, not for the run-time stuff. So I have prepared a patch
that eliminates them. This also involved disabling the testsuite/autopkgtest
for python 2 (but keeping it enabled for python 3).
A debdiff is attached, if I get no objections I will probablly NMU this later.

Description: Library for versioning Python projects.
Incremental is a small library that versions your Python projects.
.
This package provides the Python 2.x module.
+ .
+ The incremental.update functionality requires the click module which is
+ no longer available for python 2 in Debian. If you require this functionality
+ we suggest using python 3.
