Hi Alexandre,
python3-pkg-resources is the runtime part of python3-setuptools, it is also pulled in with python3-setuptools so it was already installed before; but we are trying to do an archive wide cleanup of extraneous python3-setuptools runtime dependencies and see where it still really matters.
I don't really understand all the implications, and I'm a bit weary to just replace python3-setuptools with python3-pkg-resources.
Upstream has actually removed a pkg_resources dependency some time ago: https://github.com/mikedh/trimesh/commit/32116bb283a1e0d6bb4064f7e4ac53dbf2d2f220 (well... they replaced it with setuptools...) The package still builds and installs fine if I remove the python3-setuptools dependency, but I'm not sure if that's correct either. Both python3-setuptools and python3-pkg-resources are pulled in in by some build-depends and some recommended dependencies, so this may hide an issue? How do I find out if either is really needed? Thanks, Gregor
