which is atypical and not good in general as you're now dependent on the deprecated easy-install.pth.

Minimal Reproducible Example

To make this easier to see, here's a GitHub Gist with a fully reproducible example in the form of a Dockerfile and a Makefile that will produce a working (setuptools v59.8.0) and failing (setuptools v60.0.0) example. c.f. setuptools-60.0.0-fail.log.txt for the warnings I describe above. (I know that all the packages I have in packages.txt aren't needed, but that was easiest for me to grab from an existing build, so feel free to remove the unneeded ones if you want.)

Requested Action

Can you please update the install script to be compatible with modern setuptools? This will help a lot when people are trying to install xrootd with its full Python bindings in scenarios that require some "creative" installs (I have a few of them, sadly).
