# Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> (15 Mar 2019)
# pyliblzma installs an old 'lzma' module that is incompatible with
# the 'lzma' built-in in Python 3. As a result, programs written
# to conditionally import the latter when available (assuming it will
# have Python 3 API) are broken by its presence. The suggested
# replacement is dev-python/backports-lzma that is backported
# from Python 3.
#
# Yum is the only reverse dependency of pyliblzma left (#643312). Its
# last release is from 2011, and the current Gentoo snapshot is
# from 2017. Upstream git hosting / gitweb is broken and makes it
# impossible to fetch current sources. Fedora is apparently replacing
# it with DNF.
#
# Removal in 30 days. Bug #643308.
