test_build_deps_on_distutils[packaging] failing in CI

When I run the tests locally, they pass, but in CI, the test is failing thus:

        according to locale encoding, or by "encoding" if set. Text mode is

This issue appears to be due to pypa/packaging#363.

The reason the tests pass locally is because the tests were all skipped due to

SKIPPED [9] setuptools/tests/test_integration.py:36: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1122)>
