I know this was a long time ago, but I've been going through some Python
team bugs to see if I can do anything with them, and came across this;
it interested me because I've been using vdirsyncer since 2017, and that
definitely involved a period when I was using it on bullseye and I don't
think I ever ran across this bug.
I just tried setting up a clean bullseye container, installing
vdirsyncer, copying over my configuration, and running "vdirsyncer
discover contacts && vdirsyncer sync". Everything worked perfectly.

If we were to update anything here in bullseye, it would make more sense
to just cherry-pick the fix to click-threading; the only thing a new
vdirsyncer would add would be a tighter dependency on click-threading,
but for Debian stable release purposes we might as well just issue the
click-threading update and have people upgrade to it.
However, [2] and [3] both make it clear that the problem with the
combination of click and click-threading was introduced in click 8.0.0
and does not exist with click 7.1.2. bullseye has click 7.1.2, and
indeed the package versions in your bug show that as well:

... so I am quite suspicious that there may be some relevant information
that's not in the bug report. You didn't include a traceback, which
might have made it clearer; but is it possible that you have a locally
installed version of click >= 8.0.0 from PyPI, perhaps due to running
"pip install" outside a virtual environment? That would explain this
happening to you.
