[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1058055: galpy: please remove extraneous dependency on python3-future

[Alexandre Detiste]

Source: galpy
Version: 1.8.1-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-python at lists.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

The removal of the python3-future library is being evaluated.

It's obsolete & unmaitained upstream.


Your package seems not to have required python3-future for a long time.
Please remove the hardcoded dependency from debian/control.

Greetings,



/tmp/galpy $ grep future -r
setup.py:# Note for the futureL could now get the actual compiler in the BuildExt class
debian/control: python3-future,
debian/control: python3-future,
debian/changelog:  * Add python3-future as build and package dependency
/tmp/galpy $ grep past -r
