Source: python-omegaconf Version: 2.3.0-1 Severity: normal Hi!
I'm trying to remove pydevd (and its dependency python-bytecode) from Debian: I only packaged them as a reverse dependency of debugpy to replace the vendored versions. Recently, debugpy has diverged from the upstream pydevd in significant ways, so I can no longer replace the vendored versions with the Debian-packaged upstream versions. I am therefore using the vendored version of pydevd within debugpy. There are no other packages which depend on pydevd or python-bytecode in Debian, so I would like to remove them from unstable. However, it turns out that python-omegaconf has a build-dependency on python3-pydevd, though this dependency does not appear to be required (and the binary python3-omegaconf does not depend on python3-pydevd). Please could you remove this build-dependency so that we can then remove pydevd from Debian? As nothing else in Debian uses pydevd, and the installed pydevd file will almost certainly be ignored by the vendored pydevd inside debugpy, installing any pydevd-related files in python3-omegaconf is now redundant; you could comment out the two pydevd lines in setup.py, I guess. On the other hand, if you wish to retain this pydevd dependency, I'd be happy to transfer maintainership of these two packages to you. Best wishes, Julian
