When setuptools>58.2.0 setup.py installation is a deprecated method, a warning
message will be prompted [1]:
$ sudo make install

Use the recommended solution [2] to replace setup.py with pypa/build and
pip-install to completely solve the problem. It is worth noting that under
Debian, you need to add the --break-system-packages parameter to pip-uninstall,
as shown in the following prompt:
Debian12:~$ sudo pip3 uninstall bcc
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python
installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the
risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing
--break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
# Successfully uninstalled
