Dear ROS friends,

Ubuntu 20.04 recently updates python to 3.8.2-1ubuntu1.1 as the latest patch. However, Noetic depends on 3.8.2-1ubuntu1 patch. I was wondering if any way (or a plan) to upgrade the dependency.

Note: System is Ubuntu 20.04 Mate in arm64. My temporary solution is using virtual environment with python 3.8.1 in order to make the installation working.

Best,

-- Luke

However, Noetic depends on 3.8.2-1ubuntu1 patch.

Which ROS package depends on this specific version of Python? What's the error you see, and how do I reproduce it? I have both the latest version of Python3.8 and ros-noetic-desktop installed without issue on Ubuntu Focal.

python3.8/focal-updates,focal-security,now 3.8.2-1ubuntu1.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

and

ros-noetic-desktop/focal,now 1.5.0-1focal.20200624.175727 amd64 [installed]

Hi sloretz, thanks for your reply. We currently switch back to melodic in order to get more supports on many open-source gits. But we will attempt to upgrade to Neotic again since Melodic is gonna to end the support by May, 2023. Also, I know there are many efforts moving toward Ubuntu 20.04 + Neotic and ROS2.

Best, -- Luke
