[EdLUG] Andrew Ramage shared "Installation Errors.txt" with you

Hi Andrew,

I've had a quick look. I'm more an openSUSE or CentOS kind of man 
myself, but I would probably do the following :-

Try doing the "sudo apt autoremove" to try and get to a good starting point
Then try the "sudo apt-get install -f" on it's now, so your only dealing 
with one command at a time. If that works without error then move onto 
the "sudo apt-get upgrade"

There is mention of it trying to do a "running python rtupdate hooks for 
python3.6" and then several more of the same kind of errors relating to 
"python3" packages.

You could have a look in "/usr/share/python3/runtime.d" for the package 
name your having issues with, eg. 
"/usr/share/python3/runtime.d/python3-problem-report.rtupdate" and then 
delete these files and reinstall "python3"

As i say I'm no expert and haven't used Ubuntu that often, but it did 
used to use python2.7 as it's default python version. If this is still 
the case then you could try removing python3, doing a clean up and then 
reinstalling.. I must stress that you have to be 100% certain that 
Ubuntu is NOT using python3 as it's default.

I had an issue when trying to do something similar on openSUSE and 
removed python2.6 at the time as I wanted the default to be python3.. 
Not a good idea.. I really mucked my system up. The package manager 
"zypper" used python2.6 and wasn't compatible with python3..

This is what I would start with using my limited knowledge and "Google" :-)

Hope it helps.

Martin
