On second thought I guess it will NOT boot. I see Ubuntu 24.04 ships with Kernel And OpenZFS 2.2.3 only supports up to Kernel 6.7.x 😞. |

As for python-3.12 the distutils package has been deprecated. The latest ax_python_devel.m4 macro from the autoconf archive has been updated accordingly so let's pull in the new version. We can also drop the changes made to our customized version to continue if the development version is not installed since this functionality has been included upstream.

@luckylinux if you can try PR #16129 that would be helpful.
The python bits aren't needed at all for the kernel modules or core utilities. If the dkms package was able to be installed and it built the kmod successfully you should be all set. |

@behlendorf Alright. I will find out soon 😆. I see you did A LOT of changes to the source code in your commit (besides the "quick-fix" that I proposed in the Was that really necessary or was is more like a "due" cleanup Task ? |

OK I rebooted. It seems to be working as before (with my bypassed version). Working even on Kernel 6.8. No warnings during compile of I'll try your PR #16129 now 👍 . |

@behlendorf I'm currently trying to build using this script.

System information
Describe the problem you're observing
While building OpenZFS on a (to be officially released in a few days) Ubuntu 24.04 System, openzfs-dkms Package fails to install due to missing
python3-distutilsPackage.This Package has been removed as of Python 3.12.
Since Ubuntu 24.04 ships with Python 3.12, this blocks the installation of OpenZFS Packages.
Describe how to reproduce the problem
Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the system logs
See previous Section.
Proposed Fix
I tried to do some REGEX using
sedin a build script, but it doesn't really work that well (from within the unpackedzfs-2.2.3Archive downloaded from the OpenZFS repository):Basically, either:
python3-distutils | libpython3-stdlib (<< 3.6.4))python3 >> 3.12 | python3-distutils | libpython3-stdlib (<< 3.6.4)The second Solution is most likely preferable due to compatibility with Debian and Debian-based Distributions featuring older Versions of Python.
