Packaging 22+
Summary
Update to a new upstream release of python-packaging contains a breaking change. Since version 22+ upstream removed support for LegacySpecifier and LegacyVersion some packages will break. This is a breaking change and projects are encouraged to use versions adherent to PEP 440.

Detailed Description
>>> # before 22.0 >>> packaging.version.parse("This is a completely random string") <LegacyVersion('This is a completely random string')>
>>> # after 22.0 >>> packaging.version.parse("This is a completely random string") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "[...]/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/packaging/version.py", line 52, in parse return Version(version) File "[...]/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/packaging/version.py", line 197, in __init__ raise InvalidVersion(f"Invalid version: '{version}'") packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: 'This is a completely random string'
This "feature" has been deprecated for nearly two years now.
PyPI has not permitted uploading packages with invalid versions for even more years. The latest versions of pip should be rejecting/erroring out on wheels with such versions as well. The stricter metadata validation helps pip's dependency resolver's logic, along with helping the broader ecology avoid needing to deal with outside-of-standard tooling/behaviours.

Benefit to Fedora
