Unable to install Bolts from a local directory with packaging==23.0

🐛 Bug

I'm unable to install Lightning Bolts using python3 -m pip install . I get the following error:

error in lightning-bolts setup command: 'extras_require' must be a dictionary whose values are strings or lists of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers.

I'm pretty sure it happened only after the Python package packaging was upgraded to 23.0.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Upgrade packaging: python3 -m pip install --upgrade packaging==23.0
2. Download Bolts: git clone git@github.com:Lightning-AI/lightning-bolts.git
3. Try to install Bolts: cd lightning-bolts && python3 -m pip install --editable .

It seems to be related to setuptools not accepting version requirements with an asterisk. I can also test it in a Python interpreter. After installing packaging==23.0, setuptools crashes if a version number such as 0.10.* is given:

>>> from setuptools import setup
>>> setup(install_requires='torchvision>=0.10.*')
error in setup command: 'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers; Expected end or semicolon (after version specifier)
    torchvision>=0.10.*
               ~~~~~~^

Environment

• PyTorch Version (e.g., 1.0): 1.13
• OS (e.g., Linux): Linux
• How you installed PyTorch (conda, pip, source): pip
• Python version: Tried with 3.9 and 3.10

It seems that this bug also prevents the tests from passing. Seems to work if I remove the .* from the version requirements.
