Package: clamav-cvdupdate
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer,
clamav-cvdupdate: has a runtime dependency on to-be-removed
python3-pkg-resources.
pkg_resources module is removed in setuptools v84 (experimental)
which is planned to be part of forky
After a quick glance a the code, this dependecy seems totaly unnecessary
nowadays.
tchet@quieter:/tmp/clamav-cvdupdate-1.2.0$ grep pkg.res -r
debian/control:Depends: python3-pkg-resources, ${python3:Depends},
${misc:Depends}
debian/changelog: * Add missing depends on python3-pkg-resources
