I have installed python-3.7.0 from source. I'm trying to install glib2.0-dev using sudo apt install glib2.0-dev. It tries to install python3.6-minimal as a needed dependency. How do I point at the 3.7 install? Does it install 3.6 to use it just for the install and then it can later be removed?

    Use `checkinstall` (provided by the 'checkinstall' package) during the build. After the build is too late. Note that you should NEVER alter or remove the system-provided version of Python and Python3 (exclusively Py3 in 18.04 and newer), as critical system components --like the package manager-- depend upon that specific version. If you have already done so, then backup your data and reinstall. – user535733 Oct 17 '18 at 22:16
