And once again some person forked an unmaintained #Python package, and published a new version on #PyPI using a different name.
Of course, what they didn't do was:
โข updating any of the visible metadata to indicate that it's a fork
โข updating URLs to point to the actual fork
โข requesting name transfer
And of course, now what we have instead are two different PyPI packages installing the same Python import name, with dozens of packages requiring the metadata to use the original name, and one package requiring it to use the new name.
And I'm too tired to even start working this shit around to bump the package introducing the conflicting dependency in #Gentoo.
