Please use 'pip' instead.
This message is output by setup.py. According to the README, it must be installed with pip3. Has upstream tweaked it so much that setuptools fails? As next step I would try adding python3-pip to the Build-Depends and overriding dh_auto_install to something like pip3 install . --target=debian/macsyfinder and see how it goes. Probably you would have to also explicitly perform other dh_auto_install steps normally done by pybuild and dh_python3... -- Fabrice Bauzac-Stehly PGP 01EEACF8244E9C14B551C5256ADA5F189BD322B6 old PGP 015AE9B25DCB0511D200A75DE5674DEA514C891D
