1. distutils is deprecated, see https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/

2. invokeai is a foreign package from outside Ubuntu.

3. I do not know where you got invokeai from, but according to https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/010_INSTALL_AUTOMATED/#walk-through

"We do not recommend using Python 3.11 or higher, as not all the libraries that InvokeAI depends on work properly with this version."

You probably better as ask at the source where you got invokeai, maybe https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/issues
