[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1060438: dipy: runtime dependency on cython

[Graham Inggs]

Source: dipy
Version: 1.8.0-1
Severity: important
User: debian-python at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cython-rt-dep

[This bug is targeted to the upcoming trixie release]

Hi Maintainer

It seems the new upstream version of dipy picked up a runtime
dependency on cython3 which was not there before, although it has
always been a build-dependency.

Would you please investigate?

Below is a copy/paste of the usual message for this kind of bug report.

Regards
Graham


The package build-depends on cython3 or cython3-legacy, and one of the
built binary packages also depends on cython3 or cython3-legacy. That
might be correct, but in most cases there is no runtime dependency for
a tool like cython, that is only used when building the package.

Please check that this dependency can be removed. Most likely this
dependency is generated by pybuild, because the setup.py requires
Cython in it's 'install_requires' attribute.  Please remove that,
after checking that it is not a runtime dependency, and also report
that issue upstream for upcoming releases.

If the runtime dependency is necessary, please just close this bug
report.
