+Subject: [PATCH] skip verifying the availability of setuptools
+
+The setup script checks is setuptools is available (with the correct minimum
+version), using setuptool's pkg_resouces modules. Setuptools has dropped
+this module in version 82, making this import fail.
+
+This patch skips the availability check of Setuptools, it is expected to be
+always available from oe-core - the patch itself is oe-specific.
+
+Upstream has already prepared a solution to rework their setup script to
+work with the latest Setuptools, however that patch builds on several other
+patches.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [oe-specific]
