Package: python3

Dear Maintainer,

after updating to the newest Python version and trying to work with Poetry (e. g. downloading packages),
the following problem related to the SSL module occured:

There also seem to be other users experiencing this concrete issue as stated in
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/108525, for example.

Cheers,

Hi Jonathan (2023.08.27_20:35:12_+0000)

Install python3.11 from debian unstable. The module was built with
3.11.5 and won't import with 3.11.4.

Dependencies *should* capture that, but I'm guessing we missed listing a
symbol in 3.11.5-1

python3.11 has now fully migrated.

I didn't read the bug properly before, but the issue was that you had
part of your python3.11 installation from unstable, and part from
testing.

libpython3.11-minimal was a newer version than your python3.11-minimal I
think.
