OS specific packages get disaligned with new OS versions

[FrederickDeny]

Example: when pulling the latest ubuntu image and building upon it, the process fails with the following error:

+ apt-get install -y build-essential ca-certificates coreutils curl file environment-modules gfortran git gpg lsb-release vim python3 python3-distutils python3-venv unzip zip cmake

Package python3-distutils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python3-distutils' has no installation candidate
FATAL:   While performing build: while running engine: exit status 100
