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?
