Package: python3.10 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: jep...@gmail.com Dear Maintainer,
Hi! Apologies to bringing this to your attention as a bystander, but I've become aware of an incompatibility between setuptools >= 60.0.0 and debian's python package. I'm not actually using an affected version of Debian, but this has repeatedly affected people "on the internet" as well as people I've helped as part of my work with Adafruit. Some people responding on github about the issue have pointed a virtual finger at Debian, but as far as I can tell they have not filed a debian bug so the Debian maintainers may not be aware of the issue. Here's how the bug can be reproduced in Debian. I ran these lines in a throwaway environment with `docker run -it debian:testing`: apt-get -qq update && apt-get -qq install python3 python3-pip; pip install -U virtualenv setuptools; virtualenv venv; ls -l venv/bin/python This fails, because files were created under venv/local/bin instead. Here's the "best" github issue about the problem that I've encountered, including a project member's statement about their view of how Debian could resolve the problem: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3278#issuecomment-1118317549 [note: the below information pertains to my development machine, I produced the problem above in the `debian:testing` docker image: ``` REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE debian testing 500fdde3aee4 About an hour ago 118MB ``` -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.18.0-0.deb11.4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages python3.10 depends on: ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u4 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libpython3.9 3.9.2-1 pn libqgis-core3.10.14 <none> ii libqt5core5a 5.15.2+dfsg-9 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 python3.10 recommends no packages.
