This is not actually a bug in pylint, but a bug in inspektor which is using elements of pylint's API that we did not consider public.
A PR has already been opened with inspektor to fix this, see avocado-framework/inspektor#41.

I'll respond to that PR with a better fix to solve the issue!

@DanielNoord Thank you so much for your help.

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

The MR in avocado-framework/inspektor#41 seems well on it's way with the precious help from @DanielNoord I added this issue to 2.13, so we close it at some point.

[DanielNoord]

Closing as the downstream issue has been fixed! Thanks for the report @dzhengfy!
