Can`t install python3-pip on BookwormPup64

[Limadito]

Hi!
First time here.
Just installed BookwormPup64 flawlessly on a beaten Sony Vaio fom 2005.
But when I tried to install python3-pip, this error pops up:

Code: Select all

# apt install python3-pip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python3-setuptools : Depends: python3-pkg-resources (= 66.1.1-1+deb12u1) but 66.1.1-1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have some experience with Debian systems (running Potato, eons ago), but I'm a bit rusted and can´t find the workaround for this error in particular.
Searched the forum to no avail.
Please can you help me?
Thanks in advance!

Addendum: the Sources.list file is the unmodified version form the installation.

With each point release of BW64, any subsequent APT updates of preinstalled Debian packages are intentionally disabled (via apt-mark hold) to avoid upstream updates that may potentially break Puppy-specific customization applied to Debian packages at BW64 build time.

New point releases of BW64 are provided at approximately 2-month intervals, at which time the new distro build includes security and binary updates that coincide with the current status of upstream Debian Bookworm.

The current BW64 (10.0.9) was released 09 Dec 2024. Your apt-install of python3-pip requires the new python3-pkg-resources_66.1.1-1+deb12u1_all.deb package which was released by upstream Debian on 30 Dec 2024. This new package should be available for APT install in the upcoming (updated) point release of BW64 (10.0.10) -- currently in testing.

Thanks

Thanks a lot. Will upgrade as soon as posible.
