Source: openslide-python
Version: 1.1.1-4.1
Severity: serious

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
>  fakeroot debian/rules clean
> dh clean --with python3 --buildsystem=pybuild
>    dh_auto_clean -O--buildsystem=pybuild
> I: pybuild base:217: python3.8 setup.py clean 
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "setup.py", line 2, in <module>
>     from setuptools import setup, Extension, Feature
> ImportError: cannot import name 'Feature' from 'setuptools' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/__init__.py)
> E: pybuild pybuild:352: clean: plugin distutils failed with: exit code=1: python3.8 setup.py clean 
> dh_auto_clean: error: pybuild --clean -i python{version} -p 3.8 returned exit code 13
> make: *** [debian/rules:8: clean] Error 25

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
