Version: 0.7.7-1

Hi,

diffuse fails to start for me, with

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/diffuse", line 36, in <module>
    from diffuse import main
  File "/usr/share/diffuse/diffuse/main.py", line 33, in <module>
    from diffuse import utils
  File "/usr/share/diffuse/diffuse/utils.py", line 32, in <module>
    from diffuse.resources import theResources
  File "/usr/share/diffuse/diffuse/resources.py", line 33, in <module>
    from distutils import util
ImportError: cannot import name 'util' from 'distutils' (/usr/lib/python3.11/distutils/__init__.py)

There might be an incompatibility with Python 3.11.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Installing python3-distutils solved the problem here. May be diffuse 
should depend on this package as well.

Same bug for me here:

$ diffuse

Raising severity because several folks seem to be affected.  I have 
version 0.7.7-1 installed.
