Hi
I am trying to install “python-coloredlogs” as a dependency of “ocrmypdf”. However, during the build process, the package gives following error:

==> Starting build()...
/home/sal/.cache/paru/clone/python-coloredlogs/src/python-coloredlogs-15.0.1/setup.py:24: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives

I do not have sufficient knowledge about Python, therefore, I am struggling to understand this error. So, kindly guide to fix this error? Thanks

Reading the pinned comments in the aur it looks like it hasn’t been updated in a while and maybe broken

Edit

It was updated on 23/01 so not that out of date

Reading some comments on ocrmypdf’s AUR page suggest that you need to rebuild those python packages before proceeding with that upgrade:

pamac install python-coloredlogs
pamac upgrade -a

Please correct me if I am wrong:
By reading the comments, what I understand is to uninstall and delete the ~/.cache/paru/clone/python-coloredlogs, and try to install it a fresh. So I did, but now even python-coloredlogs is giving same error during build process.
