And 1.2.0 is not released yet. Based on the related comments in /usr/lib/ python3/dist-packages/helpers.py, there is a known incompatibility, so we shouldn't just comment that constraint out. Unfortunately, reverting msgpack isn't really an option either since that would break python-pip. I suspect the most viable option is to temporarily have borgbackup use the bundled msgpack until it can be upgraded to 1.2.0. If an NMU would help, I can do it. Scott K
