Title:
Python3 can't co-exist with Oracle's VirtualBox on 20.10
Status in dh-python package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in what-is-python package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
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?
