Hi Steffen,

These autopkgtest failures:

look to stem from your Debian specific file src/toil/version.py
which hardcodes the minor python version, currently python3.9.
If I adjust this file to be agnostic on the python3 minor
version with the following patch:

--- toil.orig/src/toil/version.py
+++ toil/src/toil/version.py
@@ -2,8 +2,8 @@
 cgcloudVersion = '1.6.0a1.dev393'
 version = '5.6.0-c34146a6437e4407a61e946e968bcce67a0ebbca'
 distVersion = '5.6.0'
-exactPython = 'python3.9'
-python = 'python3.9'
+exactPython = 'python3'
+python = 'python3'
 dockerTag = '5.6.0-c34146a6437e4407a61e946e968bcce67a0ebbca-py3.9'
 currentCommit = 'c34146a6437e4407a61e946e968bcce67a0ebbca'
 dockerRegistry = 'quay.io/ucsc_cgl'

then the autopkgtest failure is fixed and the package should be
able to make it to testing.  However, I do not know the entire
implications of this file, so am not 100% sure my fix wouldn't
actually break something.  Do you know whether my modification
would be okay or if there are reasons to adopt a different
approach?

Have a nice day,  :)
