non-standard version number warning appears spurious

[FlorinAndrei]

Description

I get these warnings:

DEPRECATION: gpg 1.16.0-unknown has a non-standard version number. pip 23.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to upgrade to a newer version of gpg or contact the author to suggest that they release a version with a conforming version number. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12063
DEPRECATION: distro-info 1.1build1 has a non-standard version number. pip 23.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to upgrade to a newer version of distro-info or contact the author to suggest that they release a version with a conforming version number. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12063

Those version strings are just how Ubuntu has decided to call their packages. This is really about Ubuntu's package version conventions.

I think this project should settle the disagreement with Ubuntu, before these checks are pushed to the users.

Expected behavior

No response

pip version

23.2

Python version

How to Reproduce

On Ubuntu 22.04, install Python 3.11.4 from the deadsnakes PPA. Keep the original OS-level Python 3.10.

python -m pip install --upgrade --user pip

Then using the new pip:

pip install --upgrade --user bunch of packages...

Output
