Starting with the release of pytest 7.2, the distutils tests started failing (pypa/distutils#186).

I read the changelog for 7.2, but I don't see anything relevant.

The issue is likely due to some of these factors:

• the test class is a subclass of another class
• both classes are marked with usefixtures
• The fixture on the subclass is reliant on the prior execution of the fixture in the parent class.

See the upstream bug for:

• a detailed description of the bug or problem you are having
• output of pip list from the virtual environment you are using
• pytest and operating system versions

For consideration:

• minimal example if possible

I haven't put together a minimal example yet as I'm still triaging the issue. Is there a known change with pytest 7.2 that was expected to change this behavior?
