[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1025327: ImportError: cannot import name 'spawn' from 'distutils' (/usr/lib/python3.9/distutils/__init__.py)

[Michael R. Crusoe]

Package: cwltool
Version: 3.0.20210124104916-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: crusoe at debian.org

cwltool needs python3-distutils, but this wasn't detected in
autopkgtests due to one of the test packages pulling in distutils.

I just discovered this by installing cwltool in a fresh Bullseye WSL2
installation.
