Problem
python3-distutils
was removed in Python 3.12 which is the version that Ubuntu 24.04 ships with. See https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/ which mentions deprecation in 3.10 and removal in 3.12.Solution
Remove the dependency. While the build succeeds with this change, this removal could cause issues in the future so I'll keep an eye out for them when we start building a 24.04 engine.
Testing Done
