OK Does this show any thing?
I think something got corrupted but I can't see what. I'm a little pressurized that reinstalling python-debian failed.Code:sudo dpkg --configure sudo apt install -f

/usr/bin/pycompile seems to be throwing off the error. pycompile is part of package python-minimal you might try reinstalling that
What version of Ubuntu are you using?Code:lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 12 22:33 /usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python2.4
I do not think 2.4 as been the default for years, and it is normally the default install of 2.7. But many programs now use python3, but must specify that.
