Package: python3-virtualenv
Version: 20.17.1+ds-1
Severity: important
Hi,
as funny as the subject might sound, this took a while to track
down. :) Reporting this, since this might bite other folks as well,
and I also have STR.
The behavior that was present until and incl. bullseye was as
follows (newlines between command lines added by myself to make it
easier to read/parse/follow):
| % podman run --pull=always --rm -i -t debian:bullseye bash
| root@9b5d718485de:/# cd
| root@9b5d718485de:~# apt update ; apt -y install python3-virtualenv
| [...]
| root@9b5d718485de:~# virtualenv --python=python3 virtualenv

So everything fine, no problems.
But on bookworm, this doesn't behave as such any longer:
| % podman run --pull=always --rm -i -t debian:bookworm bash

| Traceback (most recent call last):

| ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'debian'
So the re-execution of `virtualenv` for some reason removes the
debian directory of python-debian on the filesystem. :-/
To highlight this from another run:
| (virtualenv) root@b5d06fb7:~# ls
virtualenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/debian
| __init__.py __pycache__ _arch_table.py _deb822_repro _util.py
_version.py
