AstroidError raised by AttributeError: 'TreeRebuilder' object has no attribute 'visit_typealias'

[jfolker]

Bug description

This error only happens when I try to run inside of a Conda environment, which leads me to believe that 
some incompatibility between dependency versions is the real culprit.

I put the versions of my dependencies when I encounter this error in the appropriate sections below. 
Here are my deps when everything is copacetic:

pylint 3.1.0
astroid 3.1.0
Python 3.10.12

pyepics==3.5.7
redis==5.0.7

In the Conda environment where I get the error, pylint and astroid use older versions while Python and 
the redis module are newer versions. pyepics uses the same version in both libraries, and the good folks 
working on mxcube3 who use Conda have no trouble running code which uses pyepics.

I suspect the proper resolution of this bug report is "ENVIRONMENT" or "WON'T FIX", but I reported it 
so that other people who run into the same error can know why and resolve their problem the same way I did.

Configuration

Command used

pylint -E lspvmonitor2.py

Yes, you are indeed using a version of astroid and pylint that doens't support the modern code you wrote. To parse code that uses TypeAliases like your you need at least pylint/astroid 3.0 and higher.

There isn't much we can do about that, sorry!
