I am a Ubuntu noob who apparently did something I wasn't supposed to.
I felt I needed to upgrade my version of python (stupid I know now), in order to compile something related to FFmpeg. Since then I have been unable to install any updates through the synaptic package manager, nor can I install any software through terminal using apt-get.
Synaptic package manager always gives the error:
**
Could not install 'python-support'
The upgrade will continue but the 'python-support' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
**
Manually through terminal, the attempted installation of a program ends in something like:
**
Errors were encountered while processing:
python-support
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
**
How can I get my system back to normal?
Sincerely,
Andrew
