When running the fedora-review tool on a package that has "BuildRequires: python3dist(pytest)" in it (note there is no version dependency on the pytest package), the review is complaining that:

  • Package must not depend on deprecated() packages.
    Note: python3-pytest4 is deprecated, you must not depend on it.

Looking in the build log, it is actually using pytest5 though:

+ /usr/bin/python3 -m pytest
============================= test session starts ==============================
platform linux -- Python 3.9.0b1, pytest-5.4.2, py-1.8.0, pluggy-0.13.0

The problem is that the check calls deps.resolve which in turn calls deps.resolve_one which results in always returning the list of all packages that provide what this package requires.

As a different approach, we could install the package to mock that built the package and check if any of the installed packages provides deprecated().

I am working on a temporary workaround.
