That's kind of what I figured, Tony. I now remember reading that somewhere. It looks like there maybe a workaround in the works once the final version is released. I found the follwing on fosslinux.com: "The latest word from Matthias Klose, the Debian developer who has been coordinating much of the Python 2 removal effort, is that libpython-dev, python, python-minimal, and other packages no longer exist as part of the python-defaults package in the Ubuntu 20.04 archive. The official Ubuntu 20.04 LTS release slated for April will not include these packages. For other packages, python2-minimal along with another python* packages exist to satisfy Python 2 dependencies. A new python-pointing-topython2 package that points to python is anticipated for the Ubuntu “Focal” repository." Another "wait and see" I guess.
