Heya, My apt fails to build python3-distutils as well:
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-distutils_3.6.5-1_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3.6/distutils/__init__.py', which is also in package libpython3.6-stdlib:amd64 3.6.5-1 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-distutils_3.6.5-1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I'm running buster/sid with the 4.15.0-2-amd64 kernel.
