I tried to install distutils and here's what i got this problem:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3-distutils : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6.8-1~) but 3.6.7-1~18.04 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I updated everything there is to be updated on my Ubuntu 18.04. I have python3.7 and python3.6.9 (currently selected) installed. there are no held packages. using aptitude command gives me the same results and suggests:
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) python3-distutils [Not Installed]
2) python3-lib2to3 [Not Installed]
which doesn't install, update or remove anything and leaves me in the same place.
