From 60af8d753343691c4a647bfc7c51ef6eb92df9f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andre Heider Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 12:22:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] prereq-build: require python3-distutils Debian and Ubuntu ship a python3-minimal package which does not include the distutils module. This is not supported by upstream and can be considered a broken python distribution. In practice, many scripts depend on said module, and this is a reoccuring pain point for building various OpenWrt packages. Require and check for said module, enough time has been wasted on this.
