What Operating System are you using? All modern Debian based OS's have python3.

Debian Bookworm.
Please refer to page 1 of this thread.
The python3-distro is not included in the python installation.

Now I understand... let me look into this.

Set rant box on.
I sure wish Debian would not use silly names for OS versions it's just too hard to remember which one is which... 10, 11, 12, 13 I understand and can remember and know that 13 comes after 12.

I'm using Debian 12 Bookworm and python3-distro is version 1.8.1-1

Are you using Gdebi to install Mesa CT?

In the Synaptic Package Manager I searched for python3-distro and it shows up.

I checked OS version (see below). Is Debian 12 Bookworm.
Using Gdebi, installation fails because of python3-distro.
Synaptic search doesn't show python3-distro. Also not in the list of python3 files.
Have the zip file of python3-distro. Haven't been able to figure out how to install it.
