This update suppresses misleading warning messages caused by a packaging issue on Ubuntu Jammy environments. It keeps logs cleaner and helps teams focus on real operational issues without changing business functionality.
Original PR description
Apparently on jammy the pdfminer package returns nonsensical versions (the distribution for `pdfminer.six` yields `-VERSION-`, and inside the python code the `__version__` is `__VERSION__`). When trying to look up the distribution for the (invalid as a distribution name) `ldap`, as a fallback `pkg_resources` parses every package on the sys.path before returning a lookup failure. Doing so, it encounters `pdfminer` fails to parse its version as a `Version`, warns that that is deprecated, then parses it using the more lenient `LegacyVersion` and warns that this is also deprecated. Since this is a packaging issue in just jammy and we can't really do anything about it, just sweep the issue under the rug. https://runbot.odoo.com/odoo/error/163677
