mintupdate no longer starts on my machine. Attempts to manually start it result in the following:
Any ideas? Also, a few other applications have stopped working, including eyeD3. I suspect this has something to do with virtualenv, but I know nothing about that and have never used it. Note that a python upgrade was done today. Attempts to reverse the upgrade of python, however, result in synaptic trying to remove a large list of applications that I'd rather not reinstall.

I'm adding this after the first post.
I was able to get aptitude to run, and it mentioned there were some pending upgrades. I upgraded, and during the upgrade got these errors:
