Package: python3-venv
Version: 3.5.1-2
Severity: important

Dear beloved Maintainer,

I recently updated my Debian unstable with the new python-3.5 packages
and it rendered the pyvenv command totally unusable (that is why I am
marking this report as 'important').

What are the symptoms and how to reproduce it:
==============================================

$> pyvenv my_venv_name
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip
is not available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the
python3-venv package using the following command.

    apt-get install python3-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the
python3-venv package, recreate your virtual environment.

===========================================

So, I cannot get 'pyvenv' to workproperly. This bug seems to have been
already observed in the Ubuntu python3.4 package, see:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/+bug/1290847

I also noticed that the package 'python3-pip' is not a prequisite for
'python3-venv' (which may lead to strange situations in my humble
opinion).

Note that 'virtualenv' is still working properly, so a temporary
workaround for pyvenv creation in a Python3 fashion is:

    virtualenv --python=python3.5 venv_name

Been aware of those too, but I think we've fixed them. So, closing this
bug in the hope that it's history.
