--- Begin Message ---Package: python3.8-minimal Version: 3.8.6-1 python3.8-minimal fails during configuration (meaning also that reportbug can't be installed) within a container (docker). I do not know if this problem is limited to containers. This is reproduced every time with following minimal Dockerfile: FROM debian:bullseye-slim RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install python3.8-minimal -y This fails with: Setting up python3.8-minimal (3.8.6-1) ...
