Unfortunately pyfuse3 is currently not more actively developedi (see

Removing the package because it's dead upstream makes sense.
The rdeps will need to be updated before it can be removed:
# Broken Depends:
s3ql: s3ql
# Broken Build-Depends:
borgbackup: python3-pyfuse3
borgbackup2: python3-pyfuse3
s3ql: python3-pyfuse3 (3.2.0 >=)
python3-pyfuse3 (4.0.0 <)
For borg it's a pure recommends. About S3ql it strictly depends
on pyfuse3 which is the async Trio based implementation of the
fuse library. The current status of the whole fuse-in-Python
is quite confused and I guess for such kind of things soon
we will see a general shift to other more performant ecosystems,
such as rust. At the time, I hoped that things would evolve for
the best in the Python ecosystem, but I was too much optimistic...
