Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I tested this and got the same error message when attempting to run bouncy. Did some digging and found it is missing a dependency on python3-future. If you install that package manually, it seems to run as expected.

I've also forwarded the issue to Debian, hopefully to get the dependency added in a newer version.

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

Fwiw, the issue got fixed in Debian and I tried to get it included in the Ubuntu 21.04 release, but I suppose it was too close to release for that (bug 1924907). In any case, it should soon be synced to the new development release, Impish.

If you would like a fix for older Ubuntu releases such as 20.04, I can try to help out with a Stable Release Update (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure). Although as mentioned above, a manual install of python3-future will also resolve the issue :)

This bug was fixed in the package bouncy - 0.6.20071104-8

---------------
bouncy (0.6.20071104-8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * Add dependency on python3-future.
    Thanks to Jérôme Bouat for the report, Hans Joachim Desserud for the fix.
