Research direction

Start by locating Aptkit's declared dependency on python3-pkg-resources and read the linked setuptools deprecation notice. Determine the supported replacement or removal path, then verify that Aptkit installs and runs without the deprecated dependency on the affected Debian or LMDE environment.

Description

Hello,

Aptkit is dependent on python3-pkg-resources. I want to make you aware of the fact that python3-pkg-resources is no longer maintained upstream. It has been removed from setuptools since 82.0.0. This means that in a new version of LMDE, based on Debian Forky, this has to be tackled as python3-pkg-resources will most likely be removed when LMDE 8 is released.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,
Jeroen
