Package: python3

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I maintain a Sagemath (https://www.sagemath.org/) installation for (small-time)
development purposes.

Since about 1 year, Sage could uses the system's Python 3 interpreter. This
worked until Sage 9.6.rc4. Updating to 9.6 (*identical* to 9.6.rc4) resulted in
a system giving numerous segfaults ; see https://groups.google.com/g/sage-
release/c/A_RfGtiEo4o for report and an archive of logs, including 57 segfaults
in Sage's testsuite.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Reconfiguring Sage to force it to use its own Python (3.10.3, IIRC)

   * What was the outcome of this action?

This reconfiguration (and recompilation) allowed to create a Sage version
passing its testsuite without segfaults.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Use of system's Python3 should allow to run Sage without segfaults...
