Hi Andreas, I had a look and asked MS Copilot; maybe the breakages
comes from the fact that OverlapMhap.pm is not fixed anymore after
a recent upstream update?

https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/canu/-/blob/master/debian/rules?ref_type=heads#L27-29

Unfortunately I was not able to fix it so far.

I have put my name in case we manage to fix the package.  Accoring to
Upstream, canu reached end of life and there will not be a newer
release.  If we can not fix it I think that we can just remove it.

(Although it would be neat for legacy usage such as salvaging old data
or complying with reviewers wanting for a benchark against canu…)

Have a nice day,
