Subject: python-django-celery-beat: Missing unpackaged python3-tzdata dependency

Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2022 20:56:42 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Source: python-django-celery-beat
Version: 2.3.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

django-celery-beat declares a dependency to tzdata[1] in its
requirements/default.txt however this package is not available in
Debian.

Because of this, tzdata will be downloaded from the internet if a
project declare a dependency to django-celery-beat even if already
installed using Debian packages.

From what I can see, tzdata is only a copy of the timezone info, already
available from the tzdata package and it is only used by upstream to
ensure tzdata info are installed on the target system (no trace of an
import in the source).

Rather than packaging the python version of tzdata, I think asking
upstream to remove the "obvious" dependency could be a cleaner solution.

Patching the requirement to drop the dependency could also work fine,
IMHO.

Best,
