Thanks for testing the packages "<email address hidden>", appreciated! We will need to double-check them when the SRU team accepts them into the proposed pocket. For now, we have enough testing :)

Regarding the python-requests package: it is already a suggested dependency in Bionic. In Focal you did not have this issue because it was promoted to a hard runtime dependency. That was done by the Debian maintainer due to this bug:

https://bugs.debian.org/899381

A way to avoid this issue is to pass --install-suggests to your apt install command. For me it makes sense to be a suggested dependency since just 2 fence agents (IBMz LPAR and VMWare soup agents) out of around 50 (Bionic package) depend on python-requests, which makes me believe that most users installing the fence-agents binary package do not need this python module installed.

If you think we should promote python-requests in Bionic to a runtime dependency let's open a new bug and start a discussion there. For now, I'll leave it as is, a suggested runtime dependency.
