If you're hitting this, please run: emerge -v1 dev-python/setuptools.

This was/is caused by some now-removed versions of setuptools in ~arch. Current stable and ~arch versions are OK. There's no easy way to force ~arch users to get the right version, as we can't just simply add a >= dep in the eclass, as we haven't stabled a new enough version yet, but stable users were also never affected by the bad versions.

We may add a || ( ... ) dep in the eclass for now given this is such a pain.

    distutils-r1.eclass: adjust setuptools dep to avoid known-bad versions
    
    79071eb9f6f4a5725c1a89700bcfd7f120101179 tried to mitigate this but
    blockers don't affect dependency resolution (ordering), so let's add
    a || ( <dev-python/setuptools-... >=dev-python/setuptools-...) dep
    in the eclass to ensure that the bad in-between versions (which were
    in ~arch, not stable, for a period, and are no longer in tree) aren't
    considered good enough to install any distutils-r1 PEP517 packages.
    
    We can clean this up once newer setuptools is stable & then simplify
    (and tighten) the dep.
    
    (Worth keeping in mind that Portage (rightly) doesn't aggressively
    update things listed in RDEPEND in that order simply because they're
    in RDEPEND. It might update something listed in RDEPEND after the
    package listing it provided there's no >= or otherwise dep.)
