Bug#891456: urlwatch: urlwatch pulls in dbus, making it unusable on servers

[Maxime Werlen]

owner: max...@werlen.fr

I've made some tests with python3-keyring as a recommended dependency and
seems to be working fine.
I will soon upload a new release 2.8-2 with this modification.

Thanks for your report.

Regards,

Maxime

Bug#891456: urlwatch: urlwatch pulls in dbus, making it unusable on servers

[Axel Beckert]

Package: urlwatch
Version: 2.7-1

With the switch from 1.15-4 to 2.7-1, urlwatch pulls in dbus as a hard
dependency via python3-keyring and python3-secretstorage.

Is the hard dependency on python3-keyring really necessary? Does
urlwatch no more work without GNOME Keyring or KWallet? That really
makes it unusable on servers.

So please downgrade the hard dependency on python3-keyring to Recommends
if possible in some way.
