Public bug reported:

When performing a `do-release-upgrade -d` on my groovy system, I saw:

Setting up python3-software-properties (0.99.8) ...
Failed to byte-compile /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/extendedsourceslist.py:   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/extendedsourceslist.py", line 436
    def __init__(self, sourceslist=None, /, files=None):
                                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax (expected ')')
