- I attempted the installation of ROCM 4.2 in my Ubuntu 20.04 so as to have OpenCL (amd-gpu) running in Blender. I proceeded used the guidance written on https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation-Guide.html#installing-a-rocm-package-from-a-debian-repository where I proceeded with the commands. Until, ...
yd@yd:~$ sudo apt install rocm-dkms

Some packages could not be installed. This

The following
information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: rocm-gdb : Depends:
libpython3.8 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems,
you have held broken packages.
- As well somewhere else, installing FreeCad , I see the following message that seems to be related to the same problem:
Searching on the terminal for libpython* and versions, no 3.8 is to be found: pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Zy5vhBy7Ws
Checking history of commands I did, I do not see anything related to libpython3.8: pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/xyTsQHH5mK
Remark: Checking Ubuntu version, I do not see LTS mentioned. Is this a problem?
From previous inquiry, I understood that the correct version of libpython3.8 on Ubuntu 20.04 is 3.8.10-0ubuntu1~20.04
How can I fix this libpython3.8 issue? Can I simply reinstall? If yes, how?
Your input is greatly appreciated. Thx in advance.
UPDATE: after reinstalling the OS, I still do not see libpython3.8
