Hi,

python3-aioredlock depends and build-depends on python3-aioredis, which has been
abandoned upstream. The functionality from aioredis has been rolled into
redis-py[1].

Could you please update this package to use redis-py instead of
aioredis? We can then look to remove aioredis from the archive. In
theory this should be a simple drop-in replacement by replacing
"import aioredis" with "from redis import asyncio as aioredis".

Many thanks,
Dale Richards

I've attached a simple patch to remove this dependency.

Hi Jelmer,

python3-aioredis is obsolete and RC buggy and should be removed;
python-aioredlock is the only one reverse dependency

Please apply this patch to allow removal of python3-aioredis

Greetings

Alexandre

Hi!

I've made an NMU for python-aioredlock, applying an upstream patch [1]
that gets rid of the python-aioredis dependency.

Here's the debdiff of the uploaded package.

Happy hacking,
