cfn-hup 2.0->=17 fails on stock Debian/Bullseye AMI

[jfree-fs]

Tried installing (from [1]) a few versions of cfn-bootstrap on the current Debian/Bullseye community AMI. Each attempt was on a fresh/pristine instance launched from the AMI.

With versions 2.0-17 and 2.0-18, python3 setup.py build install completed with warnings:

/usr/lib/python3.9/distutils/dist.py:274: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'excluded'
  warnings.warn(msg)
/usr/lib/python3.9/distutils/dist.py:274: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires'
  warnings.warn(msg)

, while cfn-hup -v then failed with a non-zero exit code and :

/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/cfnbootstrap/packages/requests/__init__.py:109: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.26.3) or chardet (2.3.0)/charset_normalizer (None) doesn't match a supported version!
  warnings.warn(

2.0-15 and 2.0-16 's cfn-hup ran without on-screen complaints.

• Note: the Release History lists 2.0-17 as Latest (with a copy/paste error as the release date), when in fact Latest is 2.0-18

Although this is not the right place to file an issue. We have fixed this issue. The tarball can be downloaded from here https://s3.amazonaws.com/cloudformation-examples/aws-cfn-bootstrap-py3-latest.tar.gz

Hi @garv123 (and sorry @jfree-fs to hijack your issue)

If this is not the right place to file issues maybe you should disable the possibility to do so ?

Also maybe you should add the correct path to file issue in a README or similar location ?
