[Bug 1969190] Re: package libpython3.10-minimal 3.10.4-1+focal1 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3.10/typing', which is also in package libpython3.10-stdlib:amd64 3.10.4-1+focal3

I think this is caused by a deadsnakes issue
(https://github.com/deadsnakes/issues/issues/207), which I was
experiencing myself (and resolved by following the instructions on
GitHub), but it was just making the upgrade fail, not making update
crash. It might be affecting you worse because it looks like you've set
python3.10 as "python", probably by symlinking /usr/bin/python ->
/usr/bin/python3.10, which contradicts python-is-python2.
