Hi, It's quite a long story. For many years, a "setuptools" in setup.py would be translated into a python3-pkg-resources dependency, which is/was a confusing Debian-only thing.
Not this is reverted, so this will generate a _runtime_ dependency on python3-setuptools that 99% packages built with setuptools don't need. So the most common fix is a one-line patch to setup.py / pyproject.toml that put the "setuptools" in the correct category. As of today, brian still depends on python3-setuptools. I did _not_ checked again this specific package now; having the whole story is more important. One can ask the python Team when they want to finish this cleansing. I did NMUed mini-soong because it bothered lingering here: https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/other/testing.html Greetings Le mer. 3 juin 2026 à 10:10, Andreas Tille <[email protected]> a écrit : > > Hi Alexandre > > Am Sun, Feb 15, 2026 at 07:49:20PM +0100 schrieb Alexandre Detiste: > > severity 1083322 serious > > thanks > > you reopened this bug for version 2.9.0-2.
