Version change in lambda cloud errors

Technical Help
1

I’m trying to upgrade the version on my Jupyter notebook to 3.12 just like the docs say:

sudo apt -y update && sudo apt -y install python3.12-full

But I get an error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpython3.12-testsuite : Depends: python3.12 (>= 3.12.9-1+jammy1) but 3.12.8-1+jammy1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I found a reddit thread where they seemed to solve the same issue, but they went through the files (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/deadsnakes-ubuntu-ppa-jammy.list) which I cannot seem to do on here.

What do I do?

Hi Kyle,

Just to be sure, you read the warning at the top of the doc you linked?

Upgrading Python, that is, replacing the preinstalled Python version with a newer version, will break your instance.
Instead of upgrading Python, you should install your desired version of Python alongside the preinstalled version, and use your desired version in a virtual environment.

If you are, and you’re attempting this via a Python venv, I’d recommend opening a ticket with us, here, so we can better assist you.
