Package: python3-d2to1 Version: 0.2.12-3 I have a third party, and somewhat legacy Python 3 software that depends on python3-d2to1 to build properly. However when building that software in bookworm got the following error, from within python3-d2to1's code:
> ImportError: cannot import name '_get_unpatched' from 'setuptools.dist' After some searching online I found out that RedHat has a similar bug report in their BugZilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2239998 Someone there linked to a pull request that fixes that issue. Since I know my way around dpkg-dev, and quilt, I patched the package d2to1 locally with the diff from the RedHat pull request: Index: d2to1/d2to1/core.py =================================================================== --- d2to1.orig/d2to1/core.py +++ d2to1/d2to1/core.py @@ -27,7 +27,10 @@ def d2to1(dist, attr, value): """ from distutils.core import Distribution - from setuptools.dist import _get_unpatched + try: + from setuptools.dist import _get_unpatched + except ImportError: + from setuptools.dist import get_unpatched as _get_unpatched _Distribution = _get_unpatched(Distribution) Which fixed my issue. I could now build and deploy my somewhat legacy Python 3 third party software without problems. This patch probably ought to go upstream though, as it is a problem with d2to1 itself, and not with Debian's packaging of it. But until its upstream, perhaps that patch wouldn't hurt. Florian
