[Debian-iot-maintainers] Bug#1086309: pywws: FTBFS: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.command.upload'

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:pywws
Version: 24.8.0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to build:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
dpkg-buildpackage: info: host architecture amd64
  debian/rules clean
dh clean --with python3 --buildsystem=pybuild
    dh_auto_clean -O--buildsystem=pybuild
I: pybuild base:311: python3.12 setup.py clean
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/setup.py", line 22, in <module>
     from distutils.command.upload import upload
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.command.upload'
E: pybuild pybuild:389: clean: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=1: python3.12 setup.py clean
dh_auto_clean: error: pybuild --clean -i python{version} -p 3.12 returned exit code 13
make: *** [debian/rules:7: clean] Error 25
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules clean subprocess returned exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above is just how the build ends and not necessarily the most relevant part.
If required, the full build log is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202410/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you could not reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the BTS web
page for this package.

Thanks.
