Please unblock package bcnc
[ Reason ]
Bug #1085358 makes multiple lines of "SyntaxError" appear when users
install the `bcnc` package using apt.
This bug was just fixed in unstable.
I believe it also should reach trixie as well, because the error
messages appearing on install, while seemingly harmless, may disturb
users installing the package from trixie.
[ Impact ]
If the unblock is not granted, users installing `bcnc` might panic
when seeing the warnings appearing in apt output and report bugs about
it.
[ Tests ]
The autopkgtests, while trivial, passed. I also installed the unstable
package locally using apt and the SyntaxError did not appear anymore
with the fix. The program started fine in a desktop environment.
[ Risks ]
This change is seen as trivial. Regression could occur if the regexes
would get different semantics due to the fix, but I believe it will not
be the case as the patch only fixes the unknown escape sequences with
the use of "raw" Python strings. As the regexes themselves do not use
escape sequences, this should be fine.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
Some minor changes appear in the 0006 patch (s/Author/From/ and the
likes) after being imported and exported by gpp-pq. No functional
changes on this, the 0006 patch applies correctly and contains the same information as before.
