Oops, edited bug properties with a half written reply and it saved:

py-sabctools got bumped to 8.2.3 while sabnzbd had an intentional restrictive
dependency (>= 8.1, < 8.2). The response to the package fallout was to make the
dependency less restrictive which has broken things even more as instead of
having a package failing to build, we've got a package that does build, but
doesn't run. I can't find a bug report for that fix, but if it'd come to me for
maintainer approval I'd have rejected it without a proper patch.

I'm in the process of handing off maintainership to Nick, as I don't have the
time to properly maintain the port any more. That said, we may be able to make
an interim patch to get sabnzbd to the point where it can play nice with the
bumped tools.

Bug #277626 is open to bump sabnzbd to a supported version, but there's other
dependencies that are not yet in ports that are being worked on to be able to
bring it up to date.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time we've broken this way (ref bug
#272071). The tools are only used by sabnzbd, and need to be updated in
lockstep with the daemon. They would really benefit from having a common
maintainer - Po-Chuan, Nick: your thoughts please?
