During the installation time of Lime CRM Server, a virtualenv is created. Unfortunately, it always installs the latest version of setuptools in the venv.

Old versions of setuptools accepted requirements to be listed in a non PEP440 compliant way. Below you can see two examples of invalid requirement definitions:

Invalid requirement definition for pytz:

"pytz>dev" # The version "dev" is not PEP440 compliant

Invalid requirement definition for pytest:

"pytest>=3.0.0<4.0.0" # A "," is missing between "3.0.0" and "<"

The definitions above are considered valid in any version of setuptools<67.0.0. (changelog), but will result in errors for all newer versions of setuptools.
