Error building deb file

[Jcwscience]

Jetson AGX Xavier, ubuntu 20.04 aarch64

when running make deb I receive this error

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/john/src/wifibroadcast/deb_dist/wfb-ng-22.8.11.29936' python3 setup.py install --force --root=debian/wfb-ng --no-compile -O0 --install-layout=deb --prefix=/usr usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help error: option --install-layout not recognized

Try to replace --upgrade pip==20.2.3 setuptools==44.1.1 with --upgrade pip setuptools in the Makefile, the run make clean, make env and make deb

One step further! Now I have this problem
