pypy3-lib-testsuite: installation results in SyntaxError

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

On an armhf system (Raspberry Pi4) with package python3.10 installed:

sudo apt-get install pypy3-lib-testsuite

running pypy3 rtupdate hooks for 7.3
Failed to byte-compile /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/extendedsourceslist.py: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/extendedsourceslist.py", line 436
    def __init__(self, sourceslist=None, /, files=None):
                                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax (expected ')')

I would not expect a syntax error in an installation script.

Best regards

Heinrich

Distro is jammy

This isn't a serious failure, just a failure to byte-compile a single file, that isn't parseable by pypy3. It's using the new positional-only parameters, which appeared in Python 3.8, but pypy3 is still targetting Python 3.7.

You can safely ignore this.
