Source: dolfin Version: 2019.2.0~legacy20240219.1c52e83-30 Followup-For: Bug #1147335
The pkg_resources error is coming from a wild external version of ufl installed by pip from pypi during the dolfin pusimp tests. The point of the pusimp tests is to test this very condition, that the FEniCS/dolfin python modules came from external sources, not the debian packages. If pusimp detects this external installation then it issues a warning that behaviour may be expected to be broken. The debian ufl package has already been patched, the problem happens if the user (or in this case, the dolfin pusimp test) installs packages using pip instead of installing debian packages. Looks like pusimp is not catching the exception triggered by pkg_resources in external ufl, so the pusimp test will need updating.
