Python checks not working

[FRvanderVeen]

I installed a clean ubuntu server 22.10 virtual machine and installed OMD.

When I added a 'check_ncpa' service to my host I saw that the checks were not working. This was caused by the following line:

https://github.com/ConSol/omd/blob/0c330993f25dbabba330bf19270bb728b36f7599/packages/check_plugins/single_files/check_ncpa.py#L1

python could not be found.

After searching on Google I found out that I had to install python-is-python3

Executing apt-cache show python-is-python3 showed:

Description-en: symlinks /usr/bin/python to python3
 Starting with the Debian 11 (bullseye) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal)
 releases, all python packages use explicit python3 or python2
 interpreter and do not use unversioned /usr/bin/python at all. Some
 third-party code is now predominantly python3 based, yet may use
 /usr/bin/python.
 .
 This is a convenience package which ships a symlink to point
 the /usr/bin/python interpreter at the current default python3. It may
 improve compatibility with other modern systems, whilst breaking some
 obsolete or 3rd-party software.
 .
 No packages may declare dependencies on this package.

Cnf-Ignore-Commands: python

So I would say that either the checks need to be modified to #!/usr/bin/env python3 as apt-cache suggests. Or python-is-python3 should be installed when installing omd
