There is an updated pull request by ahesford against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/ahesford/void-packages setuptools https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/25614 Fix versioning in python eggs Several python packages attempt to determine versioning using the `setuptools_scm` package and its plugin, `setuptools_scm_git_archive`. These dependencies have been packages and added to `hostmakedepends` for packages that previously attempted to either patch out (sometime incorrectly) the requirement or allow `setuptools` to download the egg at build time. By doing this right, we ensure that the `egg-info` for each of the dependent packages is correctly versioned. A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/25614.patch is attached
