Hi Arif,

That's good news, thanks!

Yes, but I see the debdiffs for all releases have `X-Python3-Version: >= 3.6`.

Could you please confirm that has been verified with `py3compile`, so as to
make sure this bug is not hit again in newer releases?

(And to be honest, I'm afraid that if it's set like a hard-coded value, this
bug may just be hit again in the future, when just meeting that version dep
is not going to be enough again -- so something dynamic would be preferred.)

I had in mind something like comment #31, to ensure python3 from the newer
release (upgraded to) is installed before sosreport on release upgrade, so
it does not `py3compile` with python from the older release (upgraded from).

But, as mentioned, if the strictly right version is python 3.6, and you want
to keep that, it is fine. *However*, we have to cover this issue in testing
for sosreport SRUs (i.e., whether the new package can install fine/py3compile
with the python version from the previous/upgraded-from stable release _and_
previous LTS release).

Please let us know which route is preferred by sosreport in Ubuntu.

Thanks!
