  ok, i got it to work.  i noticed that there was a 3.8
version of distutils that was not upgraded to 3.9 so once
i specifically pulled that in from the unstable Debian
distribution then it upgraded and my creation of a new
virtual environment would work without errors.

  so for some reason there are some python packages in
unstable that had not get gotten to testing.

  thanks for replying.  :)

  for the record this was what i did:

 apt-get install python3-distutils -t unstable
