Or maybe it's because my system has only been upgraded since
about Ubuntu 8.04... Maybe it's time for a fresh reinstall..

I believe that Ubuntu now only installs python3 since 18.04

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes

Other base system changes since 16.04 LTS

    The gpg binary is provided by gnupg2

    For new installs, a swap file will be used by default instead of a swap partition.

    Python 2 is no longer installed by default. Python 3 has been updated to 3.6. This is the last LTS release to include Python 2 in main.
