On one of our servers, I tried to install Python 3.7.1 from source. The compile failed because of dependency problems. So, I thought: "Oh, it's still Debian 8. I'll upgrade to 9, and try again." I followed this guide, which I have used over and over with consistent success.
When I got to the last apt dist-upgrade, it failed with a ModuleNotFound error because it couldn't find debconf.py. I realized that it was upset over the previous attempt to install Python 3.7, so I recompiled.
Python compiled just fine, but debconf.py was still not available. I used locate to find it, and symlinked the previous python3 version into the python path, re-rand it, and everything worked.
Here's the problem:
When I run lsb_release -a It now reports itself as sid - even though the original install was wheezy and the upgrade was to stretch. So, something is either very broken, or this can be ignored.
I have no idea where to go from here, but seems like this needs to be fixed.
What's the next step?
