Switching that to 3.11 results in the further debdiff: Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format) ------------------------------------------------ Depends: fonts-cmu, python3 (<< 3.12), python3 (>= 3.11~), [-python3.11:any,-] python3:any (>= 3.6~) Which seems ok too. @G�rkan Myczko Could you see if that seems sane and if it is do an upload with the moved file? (I'm not a DD, so i can't help out with that) - Martin
