There are a number of packages that depend on Python's deprecated distutils. >From >https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?&packages=qtwebengine-opensource-src&format=html<_information=on src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/protobuf/python/setup.py:4 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/pycoverage/setup.py:46 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/pycoverage/setup.py:47 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/pycoverage/setup.py:48 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/pyelftools/setup.py:10 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/tlslite/setup.py:6 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/webdriver/pylib/selenium/webdriver/firefox/firefox_profile.py:26 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/webrtc/tools_webrtc/ios/build_ios_libs.py:17 src/3rdparty/chromium/tools/binary_size/diagnose_bloat.py:17 src/3rdparty/chromium/tools/binary_size/libsupersize/main.py:11 src/3rdparty/chromium/tools/binary_size/libsupersize/path_util.py:8 src/3rdparty/chromium/tools/ipc_fuzzer/scripts/cf_package_builder.py:12 src/3rdparty/chromium/tools/bisect-builds.py:90 src/3rdparty/chromium/tools/real_world_impact/real_world_impact.py:26 tools/scripts/take_snapshot.py:39 src/3rdparty/chromium/build/android/gyp/compile_java.py:7 src/3rdparty/chromium/build/toolchain/win/midl.py:10 src/3rdparty/chromium/build/win/message_compiler.py:12 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/angle/third_party/vulkan-loader/src/scripts/update_deps.py:245 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/angle/third_party/vulkan-tools/src/scripts/update_deps.py:245 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/blink/tools/blinkpy/third_party/wpt/wpt/tools/wpt/browser.py:10 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/blink/tools/blinkpy/third_party/wpt/wpt/tools/wpt/run.py:5 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/blink/tools/blinkpy/third_party/wpt/wpt/tools/wpt/virtualenv.py:5 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/glslang/src/update_glslang_sources.py:24 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/pdfium/testing/tools/pngdiffer.py:6 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/perfetto/src/trace_processor/python/setup.py:1 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/protobuf/python/compatibility_tests/v2.5.0/setup.py:16 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/protobuf/python/setup.py:18 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/protobuf/python/setup.py:19 src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/protobuf/python/setup.py:20 The description of this lintian tag reads as follows: This package uses the Python distutils module. In Python 3.10 and 3.11, distutils has been formally marked as deprecated. Code that imports distutils will no longer work from Python 3.12. Please prepare for this deprecation and migrate away from the Python distutils module. See-Also: https://peps.python.org/pep-0632 Python 3.12 is already in Debian and, presumably, at some point soon will become the default. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python3.12 This problem also affects qt6-webengine and chromium, although the list of affected files is different. Does anyone know if upstream is working on removing the distutils dependency?
