I solved my problem by manuel symlinking to python: sudo rm /usr/bin/python sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python
a sudo apt-get -f install worked fine after that -- package python-newt 0.52.2-11.3ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 139 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436244 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
