Title:
  apt install python3-venv rendered system unusable

Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I ran `sudo apt install python3-venv` on Ubuntu 24.04. Note that this
  system was upgraded from 22.04 LTS a few weeks ago using do-release-
  upgrade.

  Expected: A minor installation of a few packages to get venv running.

  Actual: A major installation of packages having nothing to do with
  venv that destroyed all network configs and left the system unsable.

  The command `apt install python3-venv` installed new bluetooth,
  network and sound packages. I have no idea why it would need to
  install those. Or why it needs to install libraries for an RDP server.
  I'm wondering if the venv repo was compromised with malware.

  Anyway, the updates to network manager tried and failed to rewrite all
  of my WiFi and VPN configs. After failure, it tried to restore the
  configs, but all restoration attempts failed. After this, the OS could
  not connect to any network, and I had to reinstall from scratch.

  Attached is the command I ran and the complete output. The network
  related error messages are far down in the output. It makes no sense
  why the venv package would need to update network and bluetooth
  libraries.
