Bug#1031969: this is an important bug, can't use torch on bookworm any longer

2023-03-01 Thread Sam Watkins
The package is not installable, and it's necessary for anyone who uses bookworm for AI work and anything else that might need 3.10. I was using Debian "testing" with torch. Torch is not fully compatible with 3.11, and now the 3.10 packaging is broken and we can no longer create a 3.10 venv.
