Comment 2 for bug 1994016

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out.

This will likely not be fixed for either Jammy or Kinetic as a regular update, since setuptools is a rather fundamental package with lots of breakage potential.

However, the 65.5.0 version is currently available in Debian and so will be automatically sync-ed when we open the new development series in the coming days.

You can get newer software in older releases using the backports process, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports
