I am not sure if this is the place to report this, but I cannot think of a better one to attract Mathias' attention, sorry.
Four python3.6 packages (and likely also python3.7 and python3.8) currently available in the ubuntu-toolchain-r PPA have an unmet version dependency on the 'python3' package. After adding the ppa, apt reports certain packages as upgradeable, but they cannot be upgraded: -------------------------------- # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
