I have patched out use of python-unshare from python-netfilterqueue, it was only used during self-tests but those did not work anyway.
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-netfilterqueue/-/commit/22a94f3ba90112ea8aa474ba2523f6c81ca1d333 https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-netfilterqueue/-/pipelines/787900 I opened an upstream bug report to ask them to consider another approach: https://github.com/oremanj/python-netfilterqueue/issues/15#issuecomment-2564282968 It seems their code is here: https://github.com/oremanj/python-netfilterqueue/blob/master/tests/test_basic.py https://github.com/oremanj/python-netfilterqueue/blob/master/tests/conftest.py If you (or anyone on debian-python that I'm cc'ing now) can propose a patch for upstream, maybe that will convince them to avoid the python-unshare dependency and we'll have better self-tests as a result. Note that there appears to be two python-unshare: one on PyPI and another one here: https://github.com/NightTsarina/python-unshare/ /Simon Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> writes: > Thank you - I agree and hope to convince upstream PQconnect to pick > build dependencies in a better way.
