huh, what breaks in picard? is it using one of the deprecated modules that got removed?

I had > 200 packages that apt said needed to be updated so I thought that I'd update chunks of them so I could look through smaller lists using apt --only-upgrade <package list>
as a result python3.13 got updated and apt **removed** picard when it did.
rather: python3 got upgraded from 3.12.8 to 3.13
so i rolled back to before the upgrade and upgraded everything and now python3.13 is held with ca. 50 other packages and it leaves picard alone.
so i don't know why it has a limitation of python3 <<3.13, but apt removes it because of that.
@kepstinbrainz
s/upgraded everything/simply used 'apt upgrade' without trying to narrow things down/
i think the problem is that ppa version.
i think if i remove the ppa from /etc/apt/sources.list.d and downgrade (on machine gigabyte), it will be ok https://bpa.st/4VNQ because on machine latitude there doesn't appear to be the restriction: https://bpa.st/7Q5Q

ah, so this is an issue with the ubuntu packages on the musicbrainz-developers ppa?

generally Picard is compatible with python 3.13
the PPA packages are built against the corresponding Python packages of the Ubuntu series they are built for. If the development version of Ubuntu changed the Python I think this should be reflected on next package rebuild.
removing the ppa (which, honestly, i don't need) and downgrading releases most of the held packages

iconoclasthero (IRC): yes, of course. see my comment just before.
iconoclasthero
yep.
question though, " I think this should be reflected on next package rebuild." what sort of schedule/regularity does this occurr on?

i just realized that [m] meant [matrix] not [mobile]

depends a bit. could be daily, but there needs to have been a change to git I think (in the 2.x branch).
kepstinbrainz
yeah, matrix bridges automatically adds an [m] to avoid name conflicts if someone also connects directly to irc (tho matrix users can choose a different name without the [m] if they want to - like i do).
iconoclasthero[4
well, i got it sorted, sorry for any hassle.
<kepstinbrainz> "yeah, matrix bridges automatical..." <- your name always reminds me of the enzyme pepsin. :)
