Hi Matthias, Unfortunately, at least some of cython3-legacy doesn't currently work with Python 3.12, and is the primary cause of (at least) #1056531. cython3 provides the pyximport module, and that uses the imp module which has been removed from Python 3.12. Two possible ways forward on this particular bug: - Disable all of the cython tests for this package for the time being, until cython 3.x migrates to testing - this is simple and effective. - Patch cython3-legacy to use importlib rather than imp. This is probably a good thing to do anyway. (It may also be good to do this with cython3 version 0.x currently in testing/unstable until cython 3.x is able to be uploaded to unstable.) Then have my package's autopkgtest depend on cython3-legacy (unless cython3 0.x is also patched). Thoughts? Julian
