Hi Drew (2025.10.15_16:18:41_+0000)
Since it is cffi that directly uses distutils (in _shimmed_dist_utils.py), does the error mean that python3-cffi should be declaring an explicit Depends: python3-setuptools
Yeah, that seems reasonable. I was suprised that setuptools is required by the main build path of cffi, but it is. This made more sense back when distutils was part of the standard library.
