Package: python3-distutils
Version: 3.12.3-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi Matthias,
python3-distutils installs an empty directory /usr/lib/python3.12. This
is prone to loss when removing another package containing
/lib/python3.12 such as python3-django-pipeline is being removed.
My understanding is that distutils is removed from Python in version
3.12 and thus this empty directory is not required and rather an
oversight. I am attaching a patch that removes the empty directory from
the package.
Helmut
