Package: python3-all
Version: 3.8.2-2
Severity: important
see #958043
it has now become impossible to install python3-gmpy2. however that
is just one symptom of this serious issue.
with python3-all no longer dependent on both python3.7 and python3.8,
transitioning from python3.7 to python3.8 has just become a nightmare.
with some packages being built that are dependent on 3.7 and some on 3.8,
any packages which have dependencies that import from both sets during
the transition will cause a serious install failure

Alternately, you could just update python3-gmpy2 to the latest version of the
package, which is built to support python3.8:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/python3-gmpy2/filelist
Python3.7 is no longer supported in Debian Unstable and Testing and will be
removed shortly.
What you are observing is a perfectly normal transition to a newer version of
python3. If such things bother you this much, you should probably stick to a
Debian Stable release.
This is the 7th time we've done this for Python3. It happens once or twice a
release cycle. There's no bug at all here.
