Bug description:
[ Impact ]
The Client had an unnecessary dependency on python3-pkg-resources. This was
bringing in many unwanted dependencies to seeds after Oracular.
There is a code snippet autogenerated by setuptools which imports
pkg_resources, and that is actually needed up to Focal. Jammy and
greater only rely on pkg_resources as a fallback to importlib - which
does not justify it's inclusion as a depndency.
This was fixed in Oracular by just removing the dependency in version
34.1. However, that change would potentially break Xenial, Bionic and
Focal. So, for version 35, a new patch has been applied, implementing
a conditional dependency on the package.
As of v35, the pro client will keep depending on pkg-resources up to
Noble, but not for any subsequent release.
[ Test Plan ]
As the dependency was used directly in /usr/bin/pro, all pro commands must
work after the patch exactly the same.
Thus, it's possible to claim that the acceptance tests that will be
considered as validation for #2083973 also cover this bug.
Adittionally, on Oracular, we can verify that ubuntu-pro-client is installed
and the dependency is not there, using `apt show`.
[ Where problems could occur ]
As this is a conditional dependency, mistakes in the implementation could
lead to:
- python3-pkg-resources being present as a dependency on Oracular+ : which
would bring more dependencies as explained above
- python3-pkg-resources being absent as a dependency on -Focal: which would
break /usr/bin/pro. This is covered by the integration test suite.
[ Original Description ]
ubuntu-pro-client has an unnecessary dependency on python3-pkg-resources, at
least grepping the source for pkg_resources doesn't show anything. Please
remove it.
