lldb malfunctions due to faulty python path (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lldb.embedded_interpreter')

[Fabio A.]

Starting lldb causes the following to happen:

$ lldb
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lldb.embedded_interpreter'
(lldb)

This causes issues with, for instance, QtCreator, which stalls when trying to debug anything with lldb.

lldb -P gives the following path:

/usr/lib/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages

However, that path doesn't exist:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages': No such file or directory

The package python3-lldb-14 provides this path, though:

/usr/lib/llvm-14/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/

Creating a symbolic link from /usr/lib/llvm-14/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ to /usr/lib/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages makes things work as expected:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages && lldb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 May 10 15:23 /usr/lib/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages -> /usr/lib/llvm-14/lib/python3.10/dist-packages
(lldb)

Now QtCreator functions fine with lldb.
