[Comment 1 Michał Górny 2020-10-28 07:42:07 UTC]

Apparently the package's installing two versions of Python bindings, one is using setuptools and the other one's using distutils.

[Comment 2 Ralph Seichter 2020-10-28 07:53:09 UTC]

Juippis and I had an intense discussion about this. I wanted to only support the new bindings (notmuch2), but Juippis overruled me, as is his prerogative, and re-added support for the older bindings (notmuch).

The older bindings are known to be buggy and cause runtime problems like memory loss, which is the reason I wanted to drop support for them in the first place, and which is why I won't make related changes now. I therefore pass this issue to Juippis, politely asking to either resolve the issue or last-rite/drop the old bindings.

[Comment 3 Joonas Niilola 2020-10-28 08:00:40 UTC]

Yes, because removing the older bindings broke some revdeps in ::gentoo tree. I don't view this bug as big of an issue as breaking other software.

However maybe it's time to check whether the outdated revdeps have been updated meanwhile.

[Comment 4 Ralph Seichter 2020-10-28 08:14:19 UTC]

A single revdep, actually, but let's not reheat this discussion. ;-) I agree that changing mail-client/alot is the proper way to move forward.
