Package: src:extension-helpers
Version: 1.1.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid trixie
User: [email protected]
Usertags: pkg-resources-deprecation
[This bug is targeted to the upcoming trixie release]
The package build-depends or depends on python3-pkg-resources, which is
deprecated upstream. Details can be found at
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib.resources,
importlib.metadata and their backports (importlib_resources,
importlib_metadata).
Some useful APIs are also provided by packaging (e.g. requirements and version
parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work
to port to importlib-based solutions.
Python 3.12 in unstable provides both importlib_resources and
importlib_metadata, so no additional dependencies on those packages are needed.

Hi Matthias,
The only place where pkg_resources is used is in docs/conf.py, but the
documentation is not built for this package. python3-pkg-resources is
neither a build nor a run dependency; a grep on the build log showed
nothing.
In the package changes after the bug was opened, I however could not
find a change that would have removed the dependency.
Assuming that was opened by mistake, I close the bug. If that was wrong,
please reopen.
Thanks
Ole
