#19957 new defect

Virtualbox can't co-exist with python3 on Ubuntu 20.10 (even though python2 is also installed)

Reported by: Faidros Owned by:
Component: other Version: VirtualBox 6.1.14

Description

It seems that 20.10 defaults to python3 and wants to install python-is-python3, which pulls in the latest version of dh-python, which in turn can't co-exist with Oracle's Virtualbox-6.1 and wants to uninstall it.

I don't mind having _both_ python2 and python3 installed. But as of right now I can have either python-is-python3, and not be able to do a complete upgrade since virtualbox-6.1 will be uninstalled, or python-is-python2, in which case I cripple 20.10's python3 install, since I won't get dh-python and python-six.

Can the devs do something about this?

Still true as of version 6.1.16.
