How it`s fix?

[infectormp]

your setuptools is too old

[depresnak]

can I upgrade setuptools?

[infectormp]

why not?

[depresnak]

what version is needed?

[infectormp]

just run pip3 update setuptools

[ThomasWaldmann]

maybe some related stuff is also rather old, like pip (maybe wheel also?).

in any case: not a borg issue, thus i am closing this.
