[Bug 2061167] Re: python3-distutils is not built for noble

[jon richter]

Thanks all for the details. Assuming it is safe to be removed and that
the new conflict in -proposed will help to do so automatically for users
that upgrade, once mainlined.

apt autoremove python3-distutils

Title:
  python3-distutils is not built for noble

Status in python3-stdlib-extensions package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After upgrading to noble, there appears to be a regression between the
  to-be-installed python3-distutils package and its dependency
  python3-lib2to3. The old packages from mantic remain installed.

  python3-distutils
    Depends on: python3-lib2to3 (= 3.12.2-3ubuntu1.1)
    Installation candidate: 3.12.2-3ubuntu4

  - https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/python3-distutils dependency version pinned
  - https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/python3-lib2to3 version not available

  - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+package/python3-lib2to3
  - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+package/python3-distutils

  The published versions and their version requirements just don't match
  up.

  It seems no 'binary' distribution distutils is produced in noble:

  - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-stdlib-extensions/

  See 'Packages built by this source':

  - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-stdlib-extensions/3.11.5-1 mantic has distutils
  - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-stdlib-extensions/3.12.3-0ubuntu1 noble not
  - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-stdlib-extensions/3.12.2-3ubuntu4 yet?

  Maybe this is because distutils is no longer part of the source
  package named in the package registry:

  - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-stdlib-extensions/tree/3.11/Lib
  - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-stdlib-extensions/tree/3.12/Lib

  It appears some refactoring is going on, or build errors persist,
  which might settle sooner or later.
