Public bug reported:
Sorry I couldn't file this bug against the correct packages. The form
told me there are no such packages as python-is-python3 and dh-python in
Ubuntu...
Release: Groovy Gorilla (Ubuntu 20.10).
Package versions:
python-is-python3 3.8.2-4
dh-python 4.20200925
The release of Ubuntu 20.10 is less than two weeks out, so I'd like to
draw attention to a problem I've run into. It seems that 20.10 defaults
to python3 and wants to install python-is-python3, which pulls in the
latest version of dh-python, which in turn can't co-exist with Oracle's
Virtualbox-6.1 and wants to uninstall it.
I don't mind having _both_ python2 (apparently a requirement of
VirtualBox) and python3 installed. But as of right now I can have either
python-is-python3, and not be able to do a complete upgrade since
virtualbox-6.1 will be uninstalled, or python-is-python2, in which case
I cripple 20.10's python3 install, since I won't get dh-python and
python-six.
Ia there something the python packagers do about this?
