Description

confluent-kafka-python 1.6.0 depends on librdkafka 1.6.0. But that was only released about 2 weeks ago. Some platform packages have not released an update with support (e.g. alpine)

Maybe a bigger delay between dependency releases and updates that require them?

How to reproduce

Try to install confluent-kafka-python in the latest alpine release v3.13
