I didn't yet. I just tried to update the packaging to 0.24, which however has a number of test failures, which would need to be discussed with upstream first. Also, the package is a bit "special", and Yaroslav seems to have the requirement to support some older Ubuntu version with a different handling, keeping this intact requires some attention. Given the upcoming soft freeze, I think the schedule would be too tight to fix them and check the rdeps before Feb 12. And since you already determined the fix, the best would probably be to just apply it. I could to this; however I will have time to do only on Thursday, so you may want to do it before. On a longer term, it would be good to clean this package up (removing f.e. the special Cython handling) -- Yaroslav, how much do you still these things? Since Panda is one of the universal packages, it would be good to have it as standard as possible to make team maintenance simple. Best regards Ole
