- I attempted the installation of ROCM 4.2 in my Ubuntu 20.04 so as to have OpenCL (amd-gpu) running in Blender. I proceeded used the guidance written on https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html#installing-a-rocm-package-from-a-debian-repository where I proceeded with the commands. Until, ...
yd@yd:~$ sudo apt install rocm-dkms

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: rocm-gdb : Depends: libpython3.8 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
- As well somewhere else, installing FreeCad , I see the following message that seems to be related to the same problem:
Searching on the terminal for libpython* and versions, no 3.8 is to be found: pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Zy5vhBy7Ws
Checking history of commands I did, I do not see anything related to libpython3.8: pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/xyTsQHH5mK
Remark: Checking Ubuntu version, I do not see LTS mentioned. Is this a problem?
From previous inquiry, I understood that the correct version of libpython3.8 on Ubuntu 20.04 is 3.8.10-0ubuntu1~20.04
How can I fix this libpython3.8 issue? Can I simply reinstall? If yes, how?
Your input is greatly appreciated. Thx in advance.
UPDATE: after reinstalling the OS, I still do not see libpython3.8
