install-dependencies.sh: s/python/python3/ #391

Closed tchaikov closed 6 months ago

tchaikov commented 7 months ago

python is EOL. and the scripts in this repo actually are using python3 instead python:

$ find . -name '*.py' -exec grep '#!' {} \;

also, "python" as a package name is not available in debian and and some of its derivative distros, see https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all and https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=jammy&section=all&arch=any&keywords=python3&searchon=names

but python3, or better off python3-minimal is. see https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python3-minimal&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all and https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=jammy&section=all&arch=any&keywords=python3-minimal&searchon=names

ubuntu/jammy is picked, because it is currently the ubuntu-latest os provided by github workflow runners.

so, in this change, let's replace "python" with "python3", so that we can run install-dependencies.sh without error like:

Package python is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  2to3 python2-minimal python2 dh-python python-is-python3

E: Package 'python' has no installation candidate
