Public bug reported:
Impact: code that uses lazr.restfulclient (or launchpadlib) and pkg_resources
can't
work. The python package declares that the test dependencies are required,
but they
aren't listed in the .deb dependencies, and so aren't installed. They
aren't needed for the
code so they should be dropped.
Development fix: Drop the requires on the test dependencies
Stable fix: the same thing
Test Case:
1. Install the lazr.restfulclient package from -updates
2. Check that van.testing, wsgi_intercept, lazr.restful and
lazr.authentication are listed in
the first section of
/usr/share/pyshared/lazr.restfulclient-0.9.11.egg-info/requires.txt
3. Install the lazr.restfulclient package from -proposed
4. Check that those lines are now listed in a [tests] section.
Regression potential: low, as the packages haven't been installed as
dependencies, and some aren't even packaged, so nothing should be
relying on them being declared as dependencies.
** Affects: lazr.restfulclient (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
