Summary0009284: pypy3 package fails to install with multiple errors
Description

With all other packages being up-to-date on my Kali Linux system, running sudo apt get install pypy3 produces numerous errors before eventually erroring out with a final error:

RPython traceback:
  File "rpython_jit_metainterp.c", line 61290, in BlackholeInterpreter_run
  File "rpython_jit_metainterp_2.c", line 16592, in dispatch_loop
Fatal RPython error: AssertionError
Aborted

The package ends up partially installed with a recommendation to run dpkg --reconfigure which results in the same error again.

I was originally trying to install pypy3-venv and pypy3-tk but was able to reproduce the same issue by just attempting to install pypy3 by itself.

I've attached the relevant apt / dpkg logs from /var/log/apt.

This is the version:

apt show pypy3

Description: fast alternative implementation of Python 3.x - PyPy interpreter
 PyPy is a fast, compliant alternative implementation of the Python language
 (3.x). It has several advantages and distinct features:
  * Speed: thanks to its Just-in-Time compiler (on x86), Python programs often
    run faster on PyPy.
  * Memory usage: large, memory-hungry Python programs might end up taking less
    space than they do in CPython.
  * Compatibility: PyPy is highly compatible with existing Python code.
    It supports ctypes and can run popular Python libraries like twisted and
    django.
  * Stackless: PyPy supports stackless mode on most platforms, providing
    micro-threads for massive concurrency.
 .
 This package contains the PyPy interpreter for Python 3.x.
