    Hi Santiago (2024.12.17_23:46:03_+0000)

    If you were still relying on python_distutils, you were doing something horribly wrong. It has never supported Python 3.

    You want to use pybuild instead.

    Normally this kind of thing is announced in advance
    and bugs are filed in advance, but I don't see anything
    in this case.

    It was obviously assumed that nobody still depended on this.

    Also: It must be something recent because I did an archive
    rebuild of sid three days ago and this still did not happen.

    Could it be related to #1090343 ?

    The relevant bug is https://bugs.debian.org/1089715

    Stefano

    Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

    horribly wrong.

    Not really me. Asking for a friend :-)

    Ok, I guess we should report those asap.

    Can you give me a list of packages potentially broken
    by this, so that I can rebuild them and report them
    if they now fail?

    Thanks.

    Would

    grep buildsystem=python_distutils

    on the (previous) build logs be a good start?

    Thanks.

    Hi. I found 316 affected packages, which I reported here:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=debian-qa@lists.debian.org;tag=python-distutils

    I'm using a tag so that the bug numbers are easy to get, just in case you people
    want to reconsider if adding 316 RC bugs in a day (not reported before with severity:important) is really a good idea.

    Thanks.

    Apparently the answer to "it's been totally non-functional since Python 2
    was removed from unstable/testing in 2022: it starts by trying to run pyversions, which no longer exists" is "everything that uses it is skipped
    via overrides":

    https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/p/python-extras/rules-1.0.0-5 https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/p/python-designateclient/rules-6.1.0-2
    https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/o/ovn-bgp-agent/rules-3.0.0-1

    etc.

    FWIW, this lintian tag also flags the use of the distutils library
    (amongst other deprecated stdlibs):
