hi Anton just to let you know that I've fixed the numpy-abi error for pybj
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/pybj/-/commit/818484c1eb462fa1abd80951132a95dcd048641d https://mentors.debian.net/package/pybj I also updated pyjdata dependency list: https://mentors.debian.net/package/pyjdata let me know if you have any additional questions regarding these two packages.
