Qutebrowser and Python3.11

I recently updated my system and I got the following errors when trying to run Qutebrowser:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 563, in from_name
    return next(cls.discover(name=name))
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qutebrowser", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('qutebrowser==2.5.4', 'gui_scripts', 'qutebrowser')())
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/bin/qutebrowser", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point
    for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 981, in distribution
    return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 565, in from_name
    raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for qutebrowser

I found someone else with this issue after a good search https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/7688 and they said the packages of Qutebrowser should be rebuilt to resolve the issue since the update to python3.11

I am unsure if there is something I should do to fix this or if the package upsteam or here need to be rebuilt to get qutebrowser to work with python3.11 Please advise.
