Avocado is a set of tools and libraries to help with automated testing. One can call it a test framework with benefits. Native tests are written in Python and they follow the unittest pattern, but any executable can serve as a test.
In the setuptools>=70 the pkg_resources is deprecated and some of its features might cause troubles. These changes have impact on avocado CI with python3.12. This commit uses directly the packaging package instead of pkg_resources which solves the CI issues.
