In next weekly updates batch, pillow gained a dependency on dev-python/pybind11, which pulls in dev-cpp/eigen, which pulls in some eclasses and more deps. This is too annoying for a tool that is effectively of no use for Flatcar. We should be able to get away with just "providing" the package, since docutils (the only package that pulls dev-python/pillow) is documented to handle missing pillow gracefully.

It was a dependency of the dev-python/pillow package, which we dropped. Signed-off-by: Krzesimir Nowak <knowak@microsoft.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
What about dropping docutils as well?

I can try that too, but rather in a separate PR. More packages depend on docutils, so there is a lower chance that all of them will handle missing docutils gracefully. |

CI is past the SDK and packages build, which means that missing pillow was handled gracefully by docutils. |
