`pip` in `python:3.10-bookworm` is not working

[henrhoi]

Fails on both pip install --upgrade pip and pip install -r requirements.txt with the following error message.

This looks like an issue with some of your dependencies and not the image itself. It says it can't find 'importlib._adapters'

Indeed, I can't seem to reproduce: 👀

$ docker run -it --rm --pull=always python:3.10-bookworm pip install --upgrade pip

I'm sorry, you're right.
We found the root cause - apt-get clean and deleting some *apt* folders, causing some dependencies to be removed.
