Bug#1032995: spyder: Spyder on startup says there is a missing dependency (pylsp_black) but it is correctly installed

Hi Brian,

Thanks for bearing with me!  Hmmm, this is strange indeed.  Let's try
the other search directories as well, then:

rgrep 0.9.4.4-ds-git20221205-12a9702d29ab \
  . /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/spyder/plugins/help/utils \
  /usr/lib/python3.11 /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages \
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages /usr/lib/python3.11/dist-packages

(all one command; the "\" are line continuation characters and should
be omitted if the whole command is written on one line).  The initial
"." means look in the current directory, so you might want to run
this command from an empty directory!  (It would also be worth
checking that spyder still gives the pylsp_black warning when running
from this empty directory.)

Best wishes,

   Julian
