The version bump of testinfra from 1.16.0 to 1.19.0 by #1751 causes this issue.

Hi @decentral1se,

a virtual environment is not an option because of the selinux trap:

Keep in mind that on selinux supporting systems, if you install into a virtual environment, you may face :gh:issue <ansible/ansible/issues/34340> even if selinux is not enabled or is configured to be permissive.

My solution is to upgrade setuptools via:

pip install --upgrade --user setuptools

Maybe this should be added to the documentation.

I will close it because I was not able to reproduce it myself. Still, if we find a way to reproduce it we should reopen it.
