Actually, the above is obtained with the branch #30053. Otherwise, system
python 3.6 is chosen.

As I wrote, this is was I did. It says it is already the most recent
version (3.6.9-1~18.04) which is installed, which seems to mean that it is
distutils for system python 3.6 not 3.8.

I can try that, but I think it will not work since "distutils cannot build
a C extension" in my system python 3.8.
