Possible solutions

One must research the pros and cons of:

  • Some fix to the missing tools in the xenial distro of travis-ci.org
  • Upgrading dist on .travis.yml from xenial to newer (buster)
  • Moving deploy on .travis.yml from python version 2.7 to newer version matching the distro on travis-ci.org. Maybe 3.8.
  • Move release from travis-ci.org to Github Actions like in #549
