I noticed this on my system:

     $ ls /etc/alternatives/* | xargs -n1 file | grep -w broken | grep python
     /etc/alternatives/bandit: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3-bandit
     /etc/alternatives/bandit-baseline: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3-bandit-baseline
     /etc/alternatives/bandit-config-generator: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3-bandit-config-generator
     /etc/alternatives/doc8: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3-doc8
     /etc/alternatives/pbr: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3-pbr
     /etc/alternatives/restructuredtext-lint: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3-restructuredtext-lint
     /etc/alternatives/rst-lint: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3-rst-lint
     /etc/alternatives/wsdump: broken symbolic link to /usr/bin/python3-wsdump

I guess this is fallout from Python 2 removal?

Please fix your packages.
