Public bug reported:
python3-distupgrade contains the symlink /usr/lib/python3/dist-
packages/DistUpgrade/NvidiaDetector which symlinks to ../NvidiaDetector.
However /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/NvidiaDetector is owned by
ubuntu-drivers-common.
This causes a problem with at least the pex DEP-8 tests because in
autopkgtest.ubuntu.com (and clean adt qemu images), python3-distupgrade
is installed but not ubuntu-drivers-common. Thus when pex invokes
pkg_resources' get_resource_stream() you get a FileNotFound exception on
the former, i.e. dead, symlink.
Maybe python3-distupgrade should Depend on ubuntu-drivers-common, or
maybe the symlink itself should be owned by the latter package. I don't
think the former should just leave a dangling symlink on the system.
