Package: python3-dbusmock
Version: 0.32.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
python3-dbusmock hasn't used dbus-launch(1) from the dbus-x11 package
since 2017, but still Depends on it.
The obvious solution is to replace Depends: dbus-x11 by Depends: dbus,
matching the build dependencies; but in fact dbus is a larger dependency
than is actually necessary, so it would be better to set the Depends and
Build-Depends to dbus-daemon (available since Debian 12).
The attached patch is also available at
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-dbusmock/-/merge_requests/2
which I will update to include a Closes: for this bug number when I
receive it.
Thanks,
smcv

Subject: d/control: Depend on dbus-daemon instead of dbus, dbus-x11
In 2017 (#836053) the build-dependency and the dependency for python-dbus
were swapped from dbus-x11 to dbus, but python3-dbus still depended on
dbus-x11. This is no longer necessary.
The dbus package sets up dbus-daemon to provide the well-known system
bus, but this is unnecessary for dbusmock; all it actually needs is the
dbus-daemon executable and enough configuration to run it as a
session bus, for which the dbus-daemon package is sufficient
(since Debian 12).
Closes: #-1
