I'm wondering if one of your ppas has somehow messed things up!

Do you have ppa-purge installed? You could use that to temporarily cleanse your system of all ppas and the files pulled in with them.

python-enum is the package that isn't upgraded.

Code:

$ apt depends python-enum
python-enum
  Depends: python (>= 2.7)
  Depends: python (<< 2.8)
  Conflicts: python-enum34
09:23 PM ~ $ apt rdepends python-enum
python-enum
Reverse Depends:
  Depends: flashbake (>= 0.4.3)
$

One other route is to try aptitude instead of apt-get. The former may fix things apt-get can't.

I followed the thread here -> https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/ind...t-2013200.html (see last post),
and gave the following command;

Code:

sudo \rm -fr /root/.synaptic

Ran Synaptic Pkg. Mgr. and it came up OK! Then checked for "python-enum" and upgraded it with Synaptic Pkg. Mgr.

All should be fine now! I hope. Thanks all ... Hope this helps someone else!

Will mark closed!

Which is exactly what mc4man suggested

, Nice job Rick St. George.

or just remove synaptic package, Then remove /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf, re-install synaptic

Glad it worked out for you.
