yeah this is just an unfortunate one-time thing -- to avoid future conflicts I re-synced with debian's packaging which means a few files moved around. an apt install -yf
should fix things
I'm getting the same error when running your command (--fix-broken
and typing Y
to continue should be equivalent to -yf
)?
a heavier hammer may be to:
sudo apt --fix-broken purge (all the packages which conflict)
sudo apt --fix-broken install
I had to purge dependencies too in order for apt to be happy:
sudo apt purge libpython3.10-minimal libpython3.10-stdlib libpython3.10 libpython3.10-dev python3.10 python3.10-minimal python3.10-dev python3.10-venv
sudo apt install python3.10
And now it works. Thanks @asottile !
nice!
None of the above worked for me. I'm in a strange state with my dependencies:

Cleared apt's cache. Still not allowing me to install on this machine.
perhaps you have more dependent packages -- try this?
(read the output carefully to verify what you're removing first!)
sudo apt --fix-missing purge $(dpkg -l | grep 'python3\.10' | awk '{print $2}')
I had two stragglers:
apt purge python3.10-distutils python3.10-lib2to3
Once I got rid of them it installed cleanly.
Thanks!
apt purge
also worked for the same issue I had with 3.11.0~a7
.
I've updated the original post with instructions that should work for either 3.10 or 3.11
This also works for issue with overwriting /usr/lib/python3.7/distutils/__init__.py
in both old python3.7-distutils and new libpython3.7-stdlib when updating to 3.7.13-1+focal3
Couldn't this be prevented with a well-placed "Breaks: " line?
Breaks should be used when moving a file from one package to another (see Overwriting files and replacing packages - Replaces),
that doesn't quite work when it's a dependency as well and you don't realize until after the fact and the files are symlinks -- all three are relevant here
Chiming in to say that this happened to me today and the below command solved the issue šš».
sudo apt --fix-missing purge 'python3.10*' 'libpython3.10*'
Then I did sudo apt install python3.10
and everything seems fine now.

EDIT BY ASOTTILE
I synced python3.6+ with debian recently, the files packaged moved around a bit to reduce differences with upstream
to fix this you'll need to uninstall and reinstall. the easiest way to do the uninstall:
(read the output carefully to verify what you're removing first!)
then you should be able to install as normal
