I've reached out to Dimitri recently to get some more information about the build and run time dependencies.
I think there are a couple of options. 1. Pursue dropping python-requests from debian/control for build dependencies. *Note I think just the testing would be broken, but at least mongodb would be usable and in a workable state. (quick fix/low effort) 2. Upgrade everything from Python2 to Python3. Which is probably the best option for long-term maintenance. (medium effort) 3. Sergio's 2nd option - - Reintroduce python-requests to the archive. While this would guarantee that mongodb (and possibly other packages that B-D on python-requests) builds fine, it would also mean going through a more extensive SRU process, I think. (I don't have a good estimate on how long this would take) Thanks, Heather Lemon -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of STS Sponsors, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1933378 Title: Unable to build from source mongodb-server-core - focal Status in mongodb package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mongodb source package in Focal: New Status in mongodb source package in Groovy: Won't Fix Status in mongodb source package in Hirsute: Won't Fix Status in mongodb source package in Impish: Won't Fix Bug description: root@focal:~/mongodb-3.6.9+really3.6.8+90~g8e540c0b6d# apt build-dep .
