Bug#1069732: ros-rospkg: please drop extraneous dependency on python3-mock

[Alexandre Detiste]

Source: ros-rospkg
Version: 1.5.0-1
Severity: normal


Dear Maintainer,

Can you please remove python3-mock from d/control.

It is an obsolete library that is slowly being removed from Debian.

The code was integrated a long time ago in the standard library
as unittest.mock.

Greetings




tchet at brix /tmp/ros-rospkg $ grep mock -r -C 2
CHANGELOG.rst:- Use unittest.mock where possible.
