 Missing build dependencies: python3-pytest (>= 7)

pytest | 6.2.5-1ubuntu2 | jammy/universe
pytest | 6.2.5-3ubuntu1 | kinetic/universe
pytest | 6.0.2-2 | stable
pytest | 6.2.5-3 | testing
pytest | 7.1.2-2 | unstable

$ pkg-rdepends python3-pytest | wc -l

Not sure if a transition is involved in introduction of a new pytest, but it at least looks like it could adversely affect a number of packages. For that reason, may be better to hold off on 2.12.0+dfsg-2 in kinetic for now.

I was able to identify about 1300 packages with a build dependency based on
"grep-dctrl -FBuild-Depends". A ppa rebuild against pytest 7 results in about a 5% FTBFS rate.

pkg-rdepends I'm not familiar with, nor have my searches found it. Where can I find pkg-rdepends?

Sync bug opened at LP: #1981475

pygments migrated, marking its task "fix released"

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

pytest 7.1.2-2 is in kinetic-proposed, blocking a few other packages, but I think this bug here can be closed, and new bugs opened for the specific packages that are failing to migrate.
