Re: python-cogent [Was: Bug#950598: Chain of Dependencies prevents closing RC bugs]

Hi Andreas,

I had a look at python-cogent and updated it to the latest version.
It builds fine, so I have pushed the changes to the team repo.

I tried re-enabling python3-jupyter-sphinx as a build dependency,
but while I was able to stop sphinx-autodoc from actually trying
to import 'cogent3' which is the root package and failing, using
'autodoc_mock_imports = ["cogent3"]', the jupyter-execute extension
(jypyter_sphinx.execute) still tries to invoke the import later inside
the jupyter notebook cells and fails saying 'unable to import cogent3'.
As such build fails and I was forced to disable it again.

Yet another thing is that, the package could probably use the
'architecture-is-little-endian' virtual package now maybe from the state
of its arch definition, but I did not touch that since I am not awfully
familiar with how that works.

I do not have enough bandwidth to spend anymore time on this for now,
that means the lintian warnings also stay. Anyone can pick up from here
and/or upload (all assuming salsa ci is happy with it).
