Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-16480:
----------------------------------------------
bq. upgrade their systems to Focal or install python 3.7 which is not that
trivial
You'd simply install the package and the package management system would handle
the rest.
bq. especially if they have a large fleet and other software that rely on 3.6
They're going to have much bigger fish to fry than cqlsh, given that 3.6.8 is
the last bugfix release, and per my link:
bq. Security fix releases are source-only releases; binary installers are not
provided.

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Packaging
> Reporter: Alexander Dejanovski
> Assignee: Brandon Williams
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 4.0-beta
>
>
> Since the builds moved from depending on python 2 to python 3, the packages
> that are produced by the [cassandra-builds
> project|https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds] expect Python 3.7 to be
> installed on the target systems:
> {noformat}
> $ sudo dpkg -i cassandra_4.0~beta5-20210303gitd29dd643df_all.deb
> (Reading database ... 117878 files and directories currently installed.)
> Preparing to unpack cassandra_4.0~beta5-20210303gitd29dd643df_all.deb ...
> Unpacking cassandra (4.0~beta5-20210303gitd29dd643df) over
> (4.0~beta5-20210303git25f3cf84f7) ...
> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cassandra:
> cassandra depends on python3 (>= 3.7~); however:
> Version of python3 on system is 3.6.7-1~18.04.dpkg: error processing
> package cassandra (--install):
> dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
> Processing triggers for systemd (237-3ubuntu10.38) ...
> Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-21) ...
> Errors were encountered while processing:
> cassandra{noformat}
> The [test docker
> images|https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds/blob/trunk/docker/testing/ubuntu1910_j11.docker#L35-L36]
> ship with both py36 and py38, which allows the install to pass nicely, but
> on a vanilla Ubuntu Bionic system, only Python 3.6 is installed.
> We need to use debian buster images for builds that ship with python 3.6 so
> that the dependencies align with it.
