Good!

Ah, yes. That is definitely *not* supported. You are not supposed to miss out a
release[1] for exactly this sort of reason. Python versions and packaging are
quite fragile and you can end up with mismatches. For example, python-minimal
doesn't exist in chimaera at all.

I can't reproduce your behaviour on a correctly installed ceres or chimaera
system, so I am going to tag it invalid an close.

Please feel free to reopen if you really think there is a reportbug issue.

Thanks

Mark
