  • `py3clean: not found` suggests that you have removed or mangled the `python3-minimal` package (or a dependency). This can happen for a number of reasons, but most commonly when a human unwisely attempts to "upgrade" the stock version of Python3 on the system to a different version. Restore your system to stock condition (including both `python3` and `python3-minimal` and all their dependencies. Then see if you still have the problem. – user535733 Apr 10 '23 at 22:17
