The two packages catfish and menulibre both require the package python-distutils-extra for building. This used to work up until TW snapshot 20231113. TW snapshot 20231114 introduced a new version which has this incompatibility: * Port code to setuptools. It will not work with distutils any more. Upstream of both XFCE packages does not use any version newer than 2.50 which is what we had until snapshot 20231113, so there is no fix available. Interestingly this change came as a complete surprise because the changed python-distutils-extra package was not even announced in the usual TW snapshot announcements. The build of both packages fails with an exception "ImportError"; here is the related code: try: import DistUtilsExtra.auto except ImportError: sys.stderr.write("To build catfish you need " "https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra\n") sys.exit(1) It is unknown/undocumented what needs to be changed in a package using the new python-distutils-extra-3.0, which is why I'd recommend to revert to the former version python311-distutils-extra-2.50-1.4.noarch.rpm!
