Comment 8 for bug 1977645

Thank you for this report. Yes, this is the same issue as bug #1991606. It is a valid bug report; however, as discussed in that bug it's not clear that addressing this in Ubuntu 22.04 fits our stable release update policy. The impact of downloading a second copy of python3-gpg is pretty minimal - certainly less than the impact of setuptools failing to work out of the box. This bug has been marked as Importance: Medium, which seems accurate to me, and would therefore not fit our normal SRU policy.

I am marking this bug as a duplicate of LP: #1991606.
