Bug Description
[Impact]
_pythonSymlinkC
This breaks upgrades from cosmic to later versions, and partial upgrades on cosmic (that is, running _pythonSymlinkC
[Test case]
Run /usr/lib/
[Regression potential]
Practically none for cosmic users, as the function currently is guaranteed to fail.
When running the code on older releases (which happens due to the way release upgrading works), the code now allows python to symlink to python2, even where that is not the case in the packaging. But anything else would complicate the check a bit too much.
