Package: salt-common
Version: 3004.1+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gkulyk at yahoo.de

Dear Maintainer,

on every run of e.g. salt-call, the following error message is thrown on
systems using python3.10 as default:

[ERROR   ] Failed to import module pip, this is due most likely to a syntax
error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'contextvars' distribution was not
found and is required by salt

This error is due to /usr/lib/python3/dist/packages/salt/3004.1.egg-
info/requirements.txt still including a contextvars entry. Removing it will
prevent the error messages to be shown.

Kind Regards,

Gert Michael Kulyk
