Ubuntu 24.04 does not recognize installed python3-pcp

i found the file browser very nice to use, but with the advent cockpit-pcp being "integrated" into the bridge, and suddenly users cannot upgrade cockpit , I'm kinda worried about using it as well, incase it would also be integrated into the core.

cockpit-pcp merging into cockpit-bridge was meant to be an internal change, and upgrades should work smoothly (unless you are on Debian testing, see issue #21551) -- i.e. package managers should upgrade cockpit-bridge and remove cockpit-pcp. Also, cockpit-pcp was built from the main cockpit.git project. If you run into this on Ubuntu, please have a look at #21344. I cannot yet reproduce the failure nor was it described enough to understand it. If you have a different operating system, please describe the details.

cockpit-files is a cockpit "page" and a completely separate project. It will stay that way (if anything we'll split out some more pages such as cockpit-storaged into their own projects). But even if that happens, that won't change the binary package (deb/rpm) structure.

Thanks!

the only solution i could was to completely drop cockpit-pcp , additionally i can't even pre-install it because doing apt install python3-pcp still gives me the same prompt of missing pcp in the web ui.

OK, so you are using an apt-based distribution, Debian or Ubuntu. Please tell me the distribution name and version, the output of dpkg -l '*cockpit*' '*pcp*', and what exactly are you trying to do. Thanks!
