* [ci] Install pytest and redis from Debian For the CI runner, install the python3 pytest and redis packages from the Debian repos instead of via pip. This has the advantage of the version being fixed for the Debian version the test runner is using. This works around the regression for Unix sockets introduced in redis 7.2.0 (see also redis/redis-py#3957 and redis/redis-py#3957).
