Unable to install package

[rickgds80]

when install by: pip install NetfilterQueue

I receive this error:
sysconfig_schemes = _load_sysconfig_schemes() or {}
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/_distutils/command/install.py", line 91, in _load_sysconfig_schemes

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I've had the same issue, do you also use KaliLinux? I had this issue happening for me when using the kalilinux/kali-rolling Docker image.

Rolling back the NetfilterQueue version to commit afcee0d fixed it for me. I did not check every newer commit, but most newer ones failed to build. So you could try building from the git repo, or find a version you can install from PyPI.

So taking the commit (a5578d3) directly after afcee0d I observed the following:

This fails (using a Kali docker image):

FROM kalilinux/kali-rolling

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests -y \
      build-essential \
      python3-dev python2-dev python3-pip \
      libnetfilter-queue-dev  \
      git && \
    pip3 install cython && \
    git clone https://github.com/oremanj/python-netfilterqueue && \
    cd python-netfilterqueue && \
    git checkout a5578d3122a9e37001c76a8cd02f7c026b48ccf9 && \
    pip install .

But this succeeds (using a debian docker image):

FROM debian:stable-20220509-slim

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests -y \
      build-essential \
      python3-dev python2-dev python3-pip \
      libnetfilter-queue-dev  \
      git && \
    pip3 install cython && \
    git clone https://github.com/oremanj/python-netfilterqueue && \
    cd python-netfilterqueue && \
    git checkout a5578d3122a9e37001c76a8cd02f7c026b48ccf9 && \
    pip install .

Even though both are building from the same commit. The same behavior happens with the newest commit (0bb948d) on the master branch.

To resolve this issue, you need to install the necessary dependencies and libraries for netfilterqueue

sudo apt-get install libnetfilter-queue-dev

and after try to install with pip

pip3 install netfilterqueue
