Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
The list of dependencies seems vastly overblown. I wouldn't have
expected pip to need things like libjs-jquery, fonts-dejavu-core,
libjpeg8, or indeed nearly all of the other packages listed above. 594
MB does not look reasonable either.
Since the policy unfortunately prevents either pip or ensurepip to be
bundled with the main python3.9 package, as they ought to be as per the
official Python documentation, I had to download and run get-pip.py to
work around this problem. That worked beautifully:
$ python3 get-pip.py
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
