Kazam package broken on unstable

[madhukar93]

kazam package is broken. It does not start after installation. Looks like missing python3.7 dependency. Seems like a regression of #57660

$ nix-shell -p kazam
$ kazam

This actually a regression from strictDeps being enabled in buildPythonPackage.
See #56943, fixes are like a203bc7.

thanks, will try to send in a PR

[worldofpeace]

Hmm, I did try fixing this briefly and it appeared it had more issues than this particular one.
Perhaps an update may improve the situation.

[madhukar93]

Then it is probably beyond my abilities to fix 😬
What sort of update?

[worldofpeace]

The issue I ran into was

• Crash on startup hzbd/kazam#20 (comment)

Fix was hzbd/kazam#21, but it appears this tool is abandoned

• https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kazam#comment-675562

And I don't particularly have patience for abandonware in nixpkgs, especially maintaining them.
