I have Ubuntu 21.04/hirsute:
(platform: linux, Python 3.9.5, pytest 6.2.3, pytest-sugar 0.9.4)

4.69 to 6.2.3 is quite a jump in pytest. Is it a python2 or a python3 pytest ?
GDAL is now python 3.

When I started running the autotests recently, I discovered that the
python3 pytest is
         /usr/bin/pytest-3
not
         /usr/bin/pytest

Assuming this is your problem too,
you could change autotest/GNUmakefile;
I just sym-linked pytest-3 to pytest
