Public bug reported:
Upgrading from Mantic to Noble often triggers a crash related to Python 3.12
compatibility:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/update-apt-xapian-index", line 66, in <module>
import axi.indexer
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/axi/indexer.py", line 27, in <module>
import imp
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'
```
I guess that the crash happens when the indexer code is called while
still being in the Mantic version, but the default Python3 package has
already been upgraded to 3.12. However, that situation doesn't happen
all the time, and the upgrade is sometimes able to complete without
crash.
For some reasons, I mostly (only?) see this on Kubuntu upgrades.
Maybe that situation could also happen while upgrading from Jammy, but
as the upgrade is currently broken due to some other issues, I haven't
seen it yet.
