Public bug reported:
On 26.04 (beta) The `ipa-client-install` program complains about missing
'packaging' library.
```
# ipa-client-install --help
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'packaging'
```
Installing the python3-packaging package fixes it. Perhaps the
python3-packaging should be a dependency to the freeipa-client package?
