python - 如何修复 "update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative/usr/bin/python3.8 because link group python3 is broken"？

Question

使用 Ubuntu 16.04.7 我试图将 python3.8 设置为我的默认 python 版本。我按照 here 给出的说明进行操作，但最终标准 python 版本没有改变。每当我运行时

python -V

输出始终

Python 3.7.9

这是 sudo update-alternatives --config python3 的输出:

There are 2 choices for the alternative python3 (providing /usr/bin/python3).

  Selection    Path                Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/python3.8   2         auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/python3.7   1         manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/python3.8   2         manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

当我选择“0”时，出现错误:

update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/bin/python3.8 because link group python3 is broken

Google 上唯一的接近命中是另一个没有答案的 SO entry!

那么我该如何解决这个问题呢？

此外，这是 ls -l/usr/bin/python* 的输出:

我为python定义了一个别名!这就是为什么传统逻辑在这里不适用!
