Subject: [PATCH] Fixed AttributeError in the packaging script when using
 python>=3.8.

platform.dist() is deprecated since python version 3.5 and was removed in version 3.8.
Added exception to use the distro package in that case, as suggested by the python documentation:
https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html?highlight=platform#module-platform
