[Bug 709696] Re: Build-dependency loop with python-fixtures

[Robert Collins]

I'm going to close this. Debian is discussing how to handle bootstrap
loops, which will cover this - possibly in more than one way.

  Build-dependency loop with python-fixtures

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python-testtools

  Hi

  python-testtools build-deps on python-fixtures which build-deps on
  python-testtools; this makes backports harder, as well as
  bootstrapping these packages.

  I've greped both way around, and it seems easiest to remove the last mentions of fixtures from python-testtools as it's only used in:
  testtools/tests/test_run.py
  testtools/tests/__init__.py
  testtools/tests/test_fixturesupport.py

  Thanks!
