Please always include the exact error messages.

As it stands, I intend to release 4.2.1 soon without the distutils
dependency which has been superseded, as per this link I sent earlier:
https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/pull/3177

If this is a different problem, then please include the details so that
I can make an informed decision on what packaging and code updates to
include with 4.2.1

I was not aware that there were any problems with audio forwarding from
any of your earlier posts. Only an unrelated GTK warning.

There is no such package, perhaps you mean python3-dnspython?

There is an option to use SSHFP DNS records for key verification:
https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/2097

But this is optional and not an error. You can turn it off with:
xpra attach --ssh=paramiko:verifyhostkeydns=no

Cheers,
