[Bug 1762630] Re: Why does not python3 depend on dh-python?

[dino99]

You might use the genuine sources.
Here are mine; what are yours ?

when i see your output, i wonder how you have installed ubuntu bionic (as essential packages are requested for installation: apt, debconf, dpkg; they are always installed on normal system)
**********
The following additional packages will be installed:
  adduser apt apt-utils bzip2 ca-certificates debconf debconf-i18n dpkg 
*********

oem at ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Title:
  Why does not python3 depend on dh-python?

Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I get the following while trying to install python3 on Bionic.

  dpkg-query: package 'dh-python' is not installed
  Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
  and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

  What I can tell, every other Ubuntu release has this dependency but
  not Bionic.
