This isn't doing a lot for my self-esteem.
I'm now trying to install mailman-web and mailman-hyperkitty. Running the 'pip
install' (as documented here
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#installing-web-ui)
is giving me a similar setuptools error to the one I got before, although with
a different version number:
[SNIPPED successfully downloaded packages]
Collecting django-haystack>=2.8.0 (from hyperkitty->mailman-web)
Using cached django_haystack-3.3.0.tar.gz (467 kB)
Installing build dependencies ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
× pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> [2 lines of output]
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement
setuptools>=61.2 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for setuptools>=61.2
[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a
problem with pip.
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
× pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> See above for output.
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem
with pip.
Running 'pip install setuptools' replies that it's already installed (which is
what I expected, because I installed it earlier)
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in
./venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages (80.9.0)
I tried clearing pip's cache, but that made no difference. I am running as the
mailman user in venv.
It seems to be somehow related to the django-haystack package. In fact, running
'pip install django-haystack' results in the same error message. Perhaps I need
to take it up with the maintainers of that.

Excellent. Thanks.
