title: Ensurepip is not found despite successfully installing python3-venv and python3.8-venv
body: <p>I have gotten these consecutive errors, despite having properly installed the required dev libs and the venv lib.</p>
  <p>here is the consecutive output in terminal.</p>
  <pre><code>~/Desktop/virtualenvs$ python3.8 -m venv newpy38
  The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
  available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
  package using the following command.
  
      apt-get install python3-venv
  
  You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
  package, recreate your virtual environment.
  
  Failing command: ['/home/dji/Desktop/virtualenvs/newpy38/bin/python3.8', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']

  <li>I have also resetted by locales with &quot;sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales&quot; as in <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/33025/locale-settings-are-not-right-how-can-i-reset-them">https://askubuntu.com/questions/33025/locale-settings-are-not-right-how-can-i-reset-them</a>. But this is likely unrelated.</li>

  <p>=== Update ===
  Somehow, uninstalling and reinstalling python solved this venv issue. I am also not sure why.</p>
