Hi!
While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc2
version we found that cdlclient fails to build from source:
https://debusine.debian.net/debian/r-python-python3.15/artifact/4856091/
From the log, the error seems to be:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyproject_hooks/_impl.py", line
399, in _call_hook
raise BackendUnavailable(
...<4 lines>...
)
pyproject_hooks._impl.BackendUnavailable: Cannot import
'setuptools.build_meta'
TIP pass --env-dir and […] for help debugging a failed build
ERROR Backend 'setuptools.build_meta' is not available.
I suspect that this issue can be solved by adding a build-dependency on
python3-setuptools.
Setting the severity to important for now. Once Python 3.15 is released
and later added to python3-defaults, this bug will become release
critical.
