Hello,

I have installed dstat, and pcp-dstat was selected, after installing:

zumbi@shifu:~$ LANG=C dstat
env: 'pmpython': No such file or directory
zumbi@shifu:~$ file /usr/bin/dstat
/usr/bin/dstat: symbolic link to ../lib/pcp/bin/pcp-dstat
zumbi@shifu:~$ head -n 2 /usr/bin/../lib/pcp/bin/pcp-dstat
#!/usr/bin/env pmpython
#

Even if I pick to run it with python3 interpreter fails to run:

zumbi@shifu:~$ python3 `which dstat`
You did not select any stats, using -ucdngy by default.
dstat: No such file or directory

Thanks for your support.
