Description Paul Howarth 2022-03-08 16:43:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

yokadi currently has a runtime dependency on python3-crypto, which I maintain in Fedora. Upstream of this package (https://www.pycrypto.org/) has long since stopped maintaining it and I would like to drop it from Fedora.

The only use of python-crypto that I can see is this in yokadi/update/update11to12.py:

try:
    from Crypto.Cipher import AES as CRYPTO_ALGO
except ImportError:
    CRYPTO_ALGO = None

If you change it to this instead:

try:
    from Cryptodome.Cipher import AES as CRYPTO_ALGO
except ImportError:
    CRYPTO_ALGO = None

then you could depend on python3-pycryptodomex (which is maintained) rather than python3-crypto.

Please consider applying such a change in Fedora so that python-crypto gets nearer to being able to be retired.
