Having java as a transitive dependency is unfortunate but it doesn't get pulled into the enclosure, so I suppose it doesn't really matter, and the java part really doesn't change that often. The Java problem seems to have resolved itself, now we're at python-afdko isn't passing its test suite on i686. Looking at the GitHub actions and the issue tracker it looks like they don't do testing or building wheels anymore for 32-bit platforms. -- Efraim Flashner אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
