Unable to complete whipper drive analyze

[pmblank]

whipper installed in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS using apt. When running whipper drive analyze, I receive the following output:

[pmblank@pmblank-ThinkCentre-M910q ~]$ whipper drive analyze

I also ran the WHIPPER_DEBUG and it produced an empty archive.

@pmblank I have not run into this issue myself as I use whipper on fedora, distutils used to be available via apt. However it appears to have been deprecated. You could try to install this "sudo apt install python3-setuptools", as setuptools shoud, for now, come bundled with distutils. Alternatively you could get the source code and try to build it from source yourself, either using python3.11 or installing setuputils via pip.

@C600K3D setup tools is already the newest version in Ubuntu but I appreciate the suggestion. I was actually able to install python3-distutils-extra which resolved that issue. Now I have a new problem where it won't successfully rip a CD that's more than a handful of tracks. It ripped a 5 song EP but not a 10 song album.
