What's going on with this package ? In CVS devel/ it has just been
removed with a terse commit message "Marking pyclutter as
dead.package", but it is not orphaned in pkgdb. Was it killed because
it not longer works with clutter / not maintained upstream, or
because the Fedora maintainer lost interest, or something else ? In
any case if it is not going to be resurrected, the F9 packages need
to be blocked from rawhide repos since their deps are no longer
satisfied, and i guess orphaned in pkgdb
The maintainer looks to have marked it as a dead package, but not
followed all the steps in doing so. I sent them an email asking for
them to complete the steps.
You can mail them and ask for more details on why they are marking it a
dead package if you like.
