It is a dependency in Debian too. docker-compose depends on python-docker which depends on python- dockerpycreds which depends on golang-docker-credential-helpers
You can check the requirements.txt for those packages but they all look correct. For dockerpycreds, the README says that "the docker-credential executable for the platform must be installed on the user's system." Since these packages are maintained in Debian, please consider filing a Debian bug if there is an issue here. You can try the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs I'm closing this bug since it looks like the dependency is correct. ** Changed in: docker-compose (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792824 Title: golang-docker-credential-helpers is unneeded dep To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker-compose/+bug/1792824/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
