ViewVC 1.2.3 does not support Python 3. It runs on Python 2 and
it needs Subversion Python 2 bindings. If you are using Subversion
installed by apt, it might be available as python-subversion.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/python-subversion


If you want to run ViewVC on Python 3.x, you need to use snapshot
on master branch (unreleased 1.3-dev) from https://viewvc.org/nightly/
or get it from git repo. In the case, you need Subversion >= 1.14
because of Python 3 bindings support.

Cheers,
