[Slackbuilds-users] sbotools: multiline build options

[J. Milgram]

All good. Let's give it a go:

The python-importlib_metadata manual build fails with:

ERROR Missing dependencies:
         setuptools>=61.2
         setuptools_scm[toml]>=3.4.1
         importlib-metadata>=4.6 -> zipp>=3.20

So right there I have a circular dependency:

python-importlib_metadata: python3-setuptools_scm: (per the error 
message, though not the SlackBuild info file)

python3-setuptools_scm: python-importlib_metadata (per the info file)

BTW attempt to build python3-setuptools_scm manually fails with the same 
error (I think) I see when building python3-setuptools-opt:

===
AttributeError: 'PathDistribution' object has no attribute 
'_normalized_name'

ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke 
get_requires_for_build_sdist
===

More to follow ... (am still upgrading packages ... I obviously let 
things go too long!)
