Thanks for the report.

python-texttable has:

python-texttable
Reverse Depends:
  Depends: elastalert
  Depends: elastalert
  Depends: python-igraph

which means I shouldn't remove it right now.  Based on a quick
investigation, python-igraph reverse-depends on taskcoach, which,
according to:

  https://sourceforge.net/p/taskcoach/bugs/1674/

will probably stay Python 2-only for a while...

The good news is that elastalert has recently been converted to Python
3.

OK, I am doing the proper "affects" with this message.  I am also
considering this message as proper "documentation", but please let me
know if I should do something else.

Thanks,
