[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1125866: python3-pytest-cython: undeclared runtime usage of deprecated python3-pkg-resources

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: python3-pytest-cython
Version: 0.3.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS

Dear Maintainer,

The undeclared runtime usage of pkg_resources makes healpy's autopkgtest fail.

Please patch it out and use importlib.metadata instead.

Greetings

Alexandre

------

[This bug is targeted to the upcoming forky release]

The package build-depends or depends on python3-pkg-resources, which is
deprecated upstream. Details can be found at

    https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib.resources
and importlib.metadata.
Some useful APIs are also provided by packaging (e.g. requirements and version
parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work
to port to importlib-based solutions.

Python 3.13 in unstable provides both importlib.resources and
importlib.metadata, so no additional dependencies on those packages are needed.

If the package is a namespace package, then please lower
the severity again to normal.
