As a result, programs written +# to conditionally import the latter when available (assuming it will +# have Python 3 API) are broken by its presence. The suggested +# replacement is dev-python/backports-lzma that is backported +# from Python 3. +# +# Yum is the only reverse dependency of pyliblzma left (#643312).
