<p>Hi Andrew,<br>
<br>
I've had a quick look. I'm more an openSUSE or CentOS kind of man
myself, but I would probably do the following :-<br>
<br>
Try doing the "sudo apt autoremove" to try and get to a good
starting point<br>
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"<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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"<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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..</p>
<p>This is what I would start with using my limited knowledge and
"Google" :-)<br>
<br>
Hope it helps.<br>
<br>
Martin<br>
