#72010: py38-setuptools fails to install - circular dependency issue with
py38-build?

Component:  ports   |    Version:  2.10.5
 Keywords:          |       Port:  py38-setuptools
--------------------+-----------------------------
 While running a `port restore` to upgrade the MacPorts I have in my home
 directory after an OS upgrade to 15.2, `py38-setuptools` (required by
 `s3cmd`) fails to install. The command that fails includes `python3.8 -m
 build`, which fails because the `build` module is not installed. The
 `build` module would be installed by the `py38-build` port, but that is
 not a build dependency of `py38-setuptools`. I can't install `py38-build`
 because one of its build dependencies is `py38-setuptools`!
