Control: clone 1034065 -1
Control: reassign -1 python3-argparse-manpage
Control: affects -1 src:sasl-xoauth2
Control: retitle -1 argparse-manpage doesn't run unless python3-setuptools is installed


I think this represents a missing dependency in
python3-argparse-manpage, which makes packages that build-depend on
python3-argparse-manpage to generate their manpages FTBFS.

Control: reassign -1 src:argparse-manpage
Control: found -1 argparse-manpage/1.2.2-1
Control: tags -1 patch sid bookworm
Control: severity -1 important
Control: affects -1 src:sasl-xoauth2 src:osm2pgsql

distutils was removed from setuptools 60:


https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils-legacy.html#prefer-setuptools

Upstream dealt with this in v4:


https://github.com/praiskup/argparse-manpage/commit/3e10dac5702915b9b92fdc686bad690c1b15bf61

The package is still at 1.2.2, quite a way behind to simply cherry-pick
those changes.

I'm lowering the severity, because the package is not entirely unusable,
the osm2psql package uses it during the build to generate a manpage for
osm2pgsql-replication which still works because it uses selective imports:

  from build_manpages.manpage import Manpage
  from build_manpages.build_manpage import get_parser_from_file

Only the the build_manpage class is broken because it subclasses
distutils.Command and raises DistutilsOptionError.

The attached patch replaces the distutils imports with those for
setuptools, except the DistutilsOptionError exception which is replaced
with plain Exception.

Kind Regards,

Bas
