It has come to my attention that there are failure modes that cause this message to show up, even if python3-venv is already installed. >From what I understand about this bug report, the original submitter might have one of those situations. Specifically, the venv module in Debian's python3 stdlib emits the given message, if the subprocess <venvpath>/<pythonexe> -Im ensurepip ... fails. This can fail for a lot of reasons, but the actual error is hidden from the user, until they try themselves. Tagging moreinfo - everyone running into this bug should IMO: 1) ensure they have python3-venv installed 2) actually run the printed "Failed command" themselves and report the error message in this bug.
