[Bug 1980296] Re: pygments FTBFS requires pytest >> 7.0

[Dan Bungert]

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?

Title:
  pygments FTBFS requires pytest >> 7.0

Status in pygments package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in pytest package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygments/2.12.0+dfsg-2/+build/24118246

   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
  2088

  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.
