error installing python3-distutils on Ubuntu 24.04

[chas-iot]

Package python3-distutils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python3-distutils' has no installation candidate
tar (child): openwrt-imagebuilder-24.10-x86-64.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
./x86-imagebuilder.sh: line 300: cd: /home/chas-iot/openwrt-imagebuilder-24.10-x86-64.Linux-x86_64/: No such file or directory
./x86-imagebuilder.sh: line 301: make: command not found
./x86-imagebuilder.sh: line 302: make: command not found

I saw some explanation of why this package is no longer available at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78438738/how-to-install-python3-distutils-on-ubuntu-24-04

Yes, if you look to https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/install-buildsystem#debianubuntumint it explains the differing dependencies since ubuntu 22 and what will work for Ubuntu 24. The solution is in the a above link. I have not updated the script as yet to handle this change. I will at some stage in future. In the meantime, I figure that most people using this script could prob google their way through this issue, or better yet, just stick to Debian as it is far more stable in its package selection.
