Bug#1095111: python3-apt must be installed and visible rom /usr/bin/python3

[Daniel Gomez <da.gomez@samsung.com>]

Package: python3-apt
Version: 2.9.6+b1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: da.gomez@samsung.com

Dear Maintainer,

The latest python3-apt releases 2.9.8 and 2.9.7 produce the following
error with Ansible:

Error message:

	python3-apt must be installed and visible from /usr/bin/python3.

As workaround, downgrading the package to the latest version working (2.9.6)
"solves" the issue:

	apt install -y python3-setuptools libapt-pkg-dev python3-pip git
	pip3 git+https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/python-apt.git@2.9.6 \
	--break-system-packages

Tested with Ansible version:

    ii  ansible        9.5.1+dfsg-1 all
    ii  ansible-core   2.17.1-1

    ansible --version
    ansible [core 2.17.1]
      ...
      python version = 3.12.6 (main, Sep  7 2024, 14:20:15) [GCC 14.2.0]
    (/usr/bin/python3)
      jinja version = 3.1.3
      libyaml = True
    ansible-playbook --version
    ansible-playbook [core 2.17.1]
      ...
      executable location = /usr/bin/ansible-playbook
      python version = 3.12.6 (main, Sep  7 2024, 14:20:15) [GCC 14.2.0]
    (/usr/bin/python3)
      jinja version = 3.1.3
      libyaml = True
