Set required version of psutil in setup.py

[simonflood]

What:

Set requirement for Python psutil module to be >=5.7.2,<6.0.0 in setup.py.

Why:

Following the docs to build GVM 21.04 on Ubuntu 20.04, installing ospd-openvas reports this requirement as an error.

How:

On Ubuntu 20.04 I manually made this change via sed, then re-ran the relevant "python3 -m pip install" command.

Hi thanks for contributing. This issue has already been addressed in #490 and will be fixed with the next release. Actually we require a lower version of psutil and have adjusted our the setup file to use a version >= 5.5.1 which is the version shipped in debian buster.

Thanks for downgrading psutil. However manually making the change to the pyproject.toml file for 21.04 (as per #490) before running the python3 -m pip ... command to install ospd-openvas still includes "ERROR: ospd 21.4.3 has requirement psutil<6.0.0,>=5.7.2, but you'll have psutil 5.5.1 which is incompatible." in the output as I previously reported here.

maybe thats because we use the pyproject.toml and not `setup.py. You should go and change it there, like in the PR #490 you mentioned?

Even with 'psutil==5.5.1' in the setup.py files for both ospd and ospd-openvas I'm still seeing "ERROR: ospd 21.4.3 has requirement psutil<6.0.0,>=5.7.2, but you'll have psutil 5.5.1 which is incompatible." when I install ospd-openvas.

This is on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS which has python3-psutil version 5.5.1.

Did you even read my comment? I am talking about the pyproject.toml file. That is used for installing, not the setup.py. You need to change it there, as in the PR.

https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip/#build-system-interface

pip builds packages by invoking the build system. By default, builds will use setuptools, but if a project specifies a different build system using a pyproject.toml file, as per PEP 517, pip will use that instead.

As I said in my earlier comment #493 (comment) "manually making the change to the pyproject.toml file ... still includes ERROR". Following your subsequent comment I then also tried setup.py as well as pyproject.toml (and poetry.lock for good measure) but I'm still seeing the error. I can't see where else in ospd-openvas the requirement for ospd to be <6.0.0,>=5.7.2.
