I came across this old thread when trying "bitbake world" in really minimalistic docker container with ubuntu-18.04 where I've installed only the dependencies explicitly checked by sanity check and HOSTTOOLS. And indeed python3 package in ubuntu doesn't depend on python3-distutils, I don't know how "standard Python library" is defined, but this wasn't explicitly "minimal" python, just the default what you get with python3 in ubuntu. Maybe it would be worth adding python3native in icu to catch issues like this? Luckily it's needed only in zeus, because icu 65.1 currently in dunfell/master doesn't depend on python3-distutils anymore since: https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/commit/b4d41b0561b6e8de38b99850ce0e4be8ef536bb1 There is only one more recipe with this issue (at least in the layers i was testing and that's: openembedded-core/meta/recipes-core/ovmf/ovmf_git.bb in zeus as well as master which is explicitly using python3 from host: export PYTHON_COMMAND = "${HOSTTOOLS_DIR}/python3" and then fails with: | Python reported: "No module named 'distutils.util" | | GNUmakefile:11: recipe for target 'test' failed
