Verified in a lunar VM: Installed rmlint-gui, rebooted, trigger crash,
installed python3-pkg-resources=66.1.1-1ubuntu0.1 and the crash is gone.

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.
