I faced issues when upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 (I don't remember exactly,
maybe from 16.04.3 to 16.04.4). At end of the upgrade it showed
following error:
Setting up python-minimal (2.7.12-1~16.04) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main
"__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
exec code in run_globals
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/compileall.py", line 16, in <module>
import struct
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/struct.py", line 1, in <module>
from _struct import *
ImportError: No module named _struct
dpkg: error processing package python-minimal (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
python-minimal
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
It started showing Broken Package error in Ubuntu so I thought re-installing
python would fix this issue, but it uninstalled python with all python packages
and all softwares which depends on any python library, for example gimp, kicad,
kde, oxygen-icon-theme, pycharm etc (list is very long).
Now when ever I try to install python:
sudo apt-get install python
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
libpython-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib python-minimal
python2.7 python2.7-minimal
Suggested packages:
python-doc python-tk python2.7-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libpython-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib python
python-minimal python2.7 python2.7-minimal
