Details

Trying to build Fenix with dependencySubstitutions.geckoviewTopsrcdir set in local.properties no longer works. This is due to a python warning printed to stdout when attempting to import distutils here.

The warning is:

/home/jamie/src/gecko/mach:81: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives

It looks like we capture the stdout from mach then attempt to parse it as json, which fails due to the warning.

I'm building on Fedora 35. Commenting out the import distutils line avoids the bug, and we build successfully.

I'll chuck a workaround in the dupe'd bug.
