We can't update the dependency easily We may actually have to drop the minimum version due to bugs in Ubuntu lts |

Ugh, Linux distributions and their promises for long time support on the back of others :-( Thank you, I will close this, I don't want to cause large scale breakage for this. |

There will eventually be releases that force breakage on broken Linux |

In another project that has an indirect dependency on setuptools-scm, I am trying to use a feature of uv for CI testing, where it will install the minimum support version of each dependency. This works surprisingly well, with a few minor exceptions.
I have tested the actual minimum versions of setuptools for setuptools-scm for python version 3.9 to 3.13 and added the information.
I would prefer to just up the minimum version for all python versions to 67, however I suspect that this package is sufficient popular that it will be used in linux distribution packages and getting updated setuptools versions are hard get. So for the PR, I created different pinnings for different python versions. But I am more than happy to change this to one version that works for all supported python versions.
