[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#895218: astroml-addons: autopkgtest fails since python3.6 dropped depends on python3-distutils

Version: 0.2.2-4
Severity: normal

Since the upload of python3.6 version 3.6.5~rc1-2, it doesn't depend on
python3-distutils anymore. Your autopkgtest¹ fails since than with the
following error:

======================================================================
ERROR: Failure: ModuleNotFoundError (No module named 'distutils.sysconfig')
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nose/failure.py", line 39, in runTest

110, in <module>
    import distutils.sysconfig
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.sysconfig'

I don't know if this is an issue of the test (adding the dependency
there can fix the issue) or if the dependencies of your package need
updating.

There are rumors that one shouldn't use distutils as a runtime
dependency and one should use sysconfig instead.
