Package: python3.8
Version: 3.8.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to start gnome-music 3.36 on testing, this happens:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gnome-music", line 43, in <module>
    import gi
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from pkgutil import extend_path
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/pkgutil.py", line 5, in <module>
    import importlib
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/importlib/__init__.py", line 51, in <module>
    _pack_uint32 = _bootstrap_external._pack_uint32
AttributeError: module 'importlib._bootstrap_external' has no
attribute '_pack_uint32'

I checked with python experts on IRC and they were not able to determine
the cause or a fix.

A bug was opened and closed in Gnome relating to this issue as well:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-music/issues/371
In that case, it was python3.7, an earlier version of the gnome-music app, and
Sid, so this issue seems to be a more abstract problem in Debian Python 3.x
(unless I'm very wrong)
