+ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'
+
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ install anki.
+ execute anki from terminal
+
+ If the package is not fixed it will result in the above error.
+
+ With the fixed package, it will start and will display the language choice
menu.
+ After language is selected, Anki screen will be displayed.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ The use of find_executable from distutils has been replaced with which() from
shutil. This is not an upstream patch as upstream has completely modified the
code.
+ "which" should work similar to find_executable, both returns the path of the
executable and so chances of regression due to this change is very less.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ From the Debian bug, it seems the Debian maintainer does not intend to
+ remove distutils as there are already some more RC bugs. Packaging the
+ new upstream version in Debian will automatically remove the distutils
+ dependency in Debian.
