Title:
  Aptdaemon crashes when there are any non-PEP-440 packages on the
  system due to setuptools 66.x.x

  Fix Released
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:

Status in aptdaemon source package in Lunar:
  Invalid
Status in setuptools source package in Lunar:

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  "Software Updater" stopped working, it shows message "You stopped the
  check for updates".

  update-manager.desktop[22442]: dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
  org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected
  from message bus without replying

  Analysis shows that this is the result of aptdaemon crash when it
  tries to load plugins, and pkg_resources module refuses to parse non
  PEP-440 compliant Python package versions. There are many such python
  packages, one of them "devscripts", as shown in this log, but if I
  remove devscripts, it crashes on other packages.

  org.debian.apt[22501]:   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2679, in parsed_version
  org.debian.apt[22501]:     self._parsed_version = parse_version(self.version)
  org.debian.apt[22501]:                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  org.debian.apt[22501]:   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/_vendor/packaging/version.py", line 266, in __init__
  org.debian.apt[22501]:     raise InvalidVersion(f"Invalid version: '{version}'")
  org.debian.apt[22501]: pkg_resources.extern.packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: '2.22.2ubuntu5'
  org.debian.apt[22501]: (package: devscripts)

  There is an upstream ticket against setuptools:
  https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3772

  [ Test Plan ]

  1. Perform all required updates using Software Updater.
  2. 'sudo apt install rmlint-gui'
  3. Reboot (without reboot the bug did not reproduce)
  4. Launch Software Updater: 'update-manager'
  5. It will crash, see logs (08:38:56) related to apt daemon.
  6. Upgrade the python3-pkg-resources
  7. reboot
  8. Launch Software Updater
  9. Success

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Building Python projects could start failing since the code is part of
  setuptools.
