I purged all the python3 packages and when I try to install python3 again on my raspbian I get this:



Setting up python3.5-minimal (3.5.3-1) ...

I get this:

Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).




With apt --fix-broken install I get the same error message.



What is the problem?

Based on the information you've supplied, it's impossible to say what went wrong, or precisely what the problem is. You might consider simply re-installing your chosen OS to the SD card; in other words, just start from scratch. You'll likely spend far more time trying to "back out" or undo whatever it is you've done that's giving you those errors.



If you can recall the exact steps you followed when you purged all of your Python packages, we might be able to do better, but that will depend entirely on what you did. The only "magic do-over" is to re-install your OS.



Hope that helps.

  • @ArashKadkhodaei: You can re-install the files and packages you installed. If the files are unique, you'll need to copy them onto another storage medium (i.e. other than your SD card). Then restore after you're back to a manageable state. And do follow Ingo's advice wrt manual deletions... that is almost never a good idea.

The mistake was that you have used whereis python3 to purge remaining files from python3. This was outside the package manager so it could not manage dependencies of purged files. The result is what you have. For the next time only use the package manager with apt, apt-get or dpkg (I prefer apt). This will avoid dependency problems.



You can try to reinstall the packages that have unmet dependencies. As far as I can see from your error message these are



dh-python : Depends: python3:any (>= 3.3.2-2~)
lsb-release : Depends: python3:any (>= 3.4~)


Reinstall these packages in the hope the package manager will also (re)install the packages they depend on:



rpi ~$ sudo apt --reinstall --ignore-missing install dh-python
rpi ~$ sudo apt --reinstall --ignore-missing install lsb-release
rpi ~$ sudo apt install python3

One possible answer is packages are corrupted or were not fully removed. As noted you are missing dependencies which is why you're getting those errors. In my opinion I would do a complete reinstall of python3 after you try removing packages again.



Try this: 



sudo apt-get –purge remove python3.5-minimal
sudo apt-get –purge remove python3-minimal
sudo apt-get autoremove –purge


Then you can attempt to reinstall

The mistake was that you have used whereis python3 to purge remaining files from python3. This was outside the package manager so it could not manage dependencies of purged files. The result is what you have. For the next time only use the package manager with apt, apt-get or dpkg (I prefer apt). This will avoid dependency problems.



You can try to reinstall the packages that have unmet dependencies. As far as I can see from your error message these are



dh-python : Depends: python3:any (>= 3.3.2-2~)
lsb-release : Depends: python3:any (>= 3.4~)


Reinstall these packages in the hope the package manager will also (re)install the packages they depend on:



rpi ~$ sudo apt --reinstall --ignore-missing install dh-python
rpi ~$ sudo apt --reinstall --ignore-missing install lsb-release
rpi ~$ sudo apt install python3

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
