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

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
