Re: Failed Build of 'next' x86_64 on GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)

[Michael Tremer <michael.tremer@ipfire.org>]

Hello,

Well okay, then lets get to the bottom of this…

We kind of have two versions of setuptools. The first one comes from Python 3.10 and is installed by default. We then have it as a separate package which overwrites the original files. That is probably not a good idea.

We could now try a couple of things:

* Upgrade Python. That way we should have a more recent version of the bundled setuptools and can therefore drop the extra package. That is however a major project.

* Disable setuptools in the original build. I am not sure what other problems we will be facing afterwards, but at least it is an option. A quick test could be to remove the module with “rm” after the Python build and see what fails next.
