Public bug reported: Per the SRU done at https://launchpad.net/bugs/1889218 to update Focal's Python via SRU to 3.8.5, there is a leftover discrepancy on python3-defaults (and the corresponding `python3` package itself, NOT the `python3.8` binaries pulled in by it) as to which version is in place.
The `python3-defaults` and `python3` for Focal is listed as 3.8.2 in rmadison: python3-defaults | 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 | focal | source python3 | 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 | focal | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x However, per the SRU, Python 3.8 was updated to Python 3.8.5 in both -updates and -security: python3.8 | 3.8.2-1ubuntu1 | focal | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x python3.8 | 3.8.5-1~20.04 | focal-security | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x python3.8 | 3.8.5-1~20.04 | focal-updates | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x Unfortunately, this leaves a version discrepancy between python3.8's version of 3.8.5 and the corresponding version entry on -defaults. This may be able to be resolved by respinning -defaults and putting it in both -security and -updates as a post-SRU-fix to fix the discrepancy. ** Affects: python3-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: python3-defaults (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Tags: focal ** Also affects: python3-defaults (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910175 Title: Discrepancy between python3-defaults (and the `python3` symlink) and the actual version of Python installed by python3.8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1910175/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
