Could not install python 3.10 on ubuntu 18.04

Hi, I have a server which runs ubuntu 18.04. and I installed python 3.10.8 last year, maybe using your ppa (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa && apt install python3.10). See also https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/01/install-python-3-10-alpha-ubuntu-20-04-ubuntu-18-04/.

But when I tried to reinstall the python 3.10 due to missing Python.h and pyconfig.h (I removed python 3.10.8 accidently), then I could not install python3.10 anymore.

I tried to download debs from http://ppa.launchpad.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python3.10/ and use dpkg -i * to install them, but it failed with libc6 version conflicts.

I also noticed this commit, maybe the ubuntu 18.04 support is removed just a few days ago.

Is there anyway I can install the old python 3.10.8 on my ubuntu 18.04?

Update: I found the debs are deleted for ubuntu 18.04. Maybe I have to build it for myself.

See the pinned issue: https://github.com/deadsnakes/issues/issues/251

In the issue template, which you deleted, there was a note to read the pinned issues first.
