Source: python-omegaconf Version: 2.3.0-3 Severity: normal Prompted by looking into some specific test issues in python-moto, I began considering what it would take to upgrade python3-antlr4 to something newer than 4.9.2. This is difficult because ANTLR 4.10 introduced incompatible changes to the lexers and parsers that cause (at least) test problems in a number of other packages (https://github.com/antlr/antlr4/releases/tag/4.10); some of these have been masked by disabling tests, but they still exist. But we now have some packages that require >= 4.10 as well as some packages that require < 4.10, so we kind of need to sort this out.
One of the issues is in python-omegaconf, probably best described in https://github.com/omry/omegaconf/pull/1114. There have been a couple of .dev releases that included this, but not a proper release, and https://github.com/omry/omegaconf/issues/1200 doesn't paint a very rosy picture of its upstream maintenance. Given that there seem to be no reverse-dependencies in Debian, would it be better to just remove this and simplify a future python3-antlr4 upgrade?
