Trying to install python#.#-venv no longer works for Python versions newer than 3.8 (python3.8-venv is the latest one that works). This used to work for python3.11-venv, which we have already installed previously and have Docker build caches where that package is already installed from deadsnakes. On https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa the only packages listed are the base python#.# packages, none of the *-dev, *-venv, *-distutils, *-lib2to3, *-gdbm, *-tk packages are listed in the published packages, even though they are still listed in the PPA description.
I have reproduced this in a ubuntu:18.04 container:
