Public bug reported:
The latest 22.04 updates have broken pathlib. pip complains that
setuptools is not available in the build environment even though the
package python3-setuptools v59.6.0-1.2 is installed. This breaks any
package relying on pathlib.
The output from the install command is:
rocko@ubuntu:~$ pip install pathlib
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
