Error during Setting up the workspace - "colcon build --symlink-install"

[Aidan-Killeen]

During the "colcon build --symlink-install" step of the prerequisites, the launch_pal package failed to be installed with the following error message:

--- stderr: launch_pal
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/command/easy_install.py:158: EasyInstallDeprecationWarning: easy_install command is deprecated. Use build and pip and other standards-based tools.

I am attempting to install this using Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, using Windows Subsystem for Linux.
