Dear Maintainer,
While attempting to run vitables, I get the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'blosc2>=2.3.0' distribution was not
found and is required by tables
(Reported as Bug#1065117)
Ultimately, I believe the problem to be that
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tables-3.9.2.dist-info/METADATA
includes a line 'Requires-Dist: blosc2 >=2.3.0' (unless that information
is somewhere elso also; I couldn't find it elsewhere). However, the
blosc2 Python package isn't installed (nor, for that matter, packaged
for Debian). When vitables starts to look for plugins, the
pkg_resources module attempts to resolve vitables' Python dependencies.
>From what I can tell, the Python bindings in the blosc2 package aren't
used, and it's only listed for the blosc2 library and headers it
includes -- python3-tables is built against the libblosc2-2 Debian
package instead.
I think removing the offending line from METADATA should be a
sufficient fix.
