action needed

Marked for autoremoval on 14 October: #1146303 high

Version 3.4.2+dfsg-4 of task is marked for autoremoval from testing on Wed 14 Oct 2026. It is affected by #1146303. The removal of task will also cause the removal of (transitive) reverse dependencies: bugwarrior, powerline-taskwarrior, ptask, python-tasklib, rust-taskwarrior-tui, tasksh, taskw, vit. You should try to prevent the removal by fixing these RC bugs.

- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for task/3.5.0+dfsg-3: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armhf: No tests, superficial or marked flaky ♻, i386: Test triggered, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for taskw/2.0.0-5: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Test triggered, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 2 of 5 days old
- ∙ ∙ Build-Depends(-Arch): task rust-taskchampion (not considered)
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Updating task will fix bugs in testing: #1146303
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/t/task.html
