Dear Maintainer, I obviously made a mistake while filing #1073280 and saying there were no rdeps left. From Sergio's patch I learned that "filelock" is almost a drop-in replacement fro "lockfile" and I will suggest it in the future and already did so on the wiki. https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-fedora/-/blob/master/debian/patches/0002-Use-filelock-instead-of-lockfile.patch?ref_type=heads I guess this work would be easier to carry upstream than in a patch. Greetings Alexandre python-daemon-3.0.1$ grep lockfile -ri | wc -l 84
Hi, this package prevents removal of nose2 from testing, which itself is rc-buggy. Please see about migrating to filelock (or some other solution) sooner than later. Thanks, Chris
