Hi,

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


Relevant part (hopefully):
> checking SWIG version... 4.0.2
> checking for SWIG library... /usr/share/swig4.0
> checking for python... /usr/bin/python3
> checking for a version of Python >= '2.1.0'... yes
> checking for the distutils Python package... no
> configure: error: cannot import Python module "distutils".
> Please check your Python installation. The error was:
> <string>:1: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
> 	tail -v -n \+0 config.log
