Incompatibility with paho 2

[narc-Ontakac2]

After an upgrade to Debian trixie tdm fails to start:

$ /usr/bin/tdmgr.py
Exception ignored in: <function Client.__del__ at 0x7f46798ea980>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 874, in __del__
    self._reset_sockets()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 1133, in _reset_sockets
    self._sock_close()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 1119, in _sock_close
    if not self._sock:
           ^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute '_sock'

The likely cause is that paho has moved to version 2:

$ dpkg -l python3-paho-mqtt 
...
ii  python3-paho-mqtt 2.0.0-1      all          MQTT client class (Python 3)

This is a typical symptom which is described in this python paho issue.

What a mess. Wow. They really didn't think that one through.

For now my recommendation would be to install TDM within its own venv, and not relying on system packages.

I need to think of a solution.

I'll also pin down the package requirements for paho.

Back to square one. As you recommended to do (in the beginning)
