distutils is scheduled for removal in 3.12, so more tools are relying on sysconfig being correct, which lead us to fixing that. See: https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2022/03/msg00039.html sysconfig is now correct, and you can rely on it staying that way. However, that doesn't mean everything is straight-forward. You'll need to figure out what the right way to approach these changes in meson is. I was pointed to bug 1009452 today that is probably fallout from this change. Not knowing meson at all, I don't know what the correct approach to tackle it in Meson is. But I'll do my best to advice you. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
