I looked into this some more and I have some extra stuff to explain.

There's another patch that updates and cleans up the dependencies:
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230331091355.1224059-1-juraj.lin...@pantheon.tech/
To do this patch, I updated my Poetry version to 1.2.0 and apparently,
then changed the file lists of packages. Before, they had that in a
separate section and in Poetry 1.2.0 they separated it into packages.

This led to this patch having a lot of unrelated changes (in unrelated
dependencies) brought on by the Poetry upgrade. I'll submit an update
with just the pexpect/fabric switch and we can discuss the changes
brought by the Poetry update in the other patch.
