Error on python update

[futex]

Hello,

I'm on Mint 18.3, and yesterday where was a update off the python packages, but when i do the upgrade, i have an error:

Code: Select all

Need to get 0 B / 95.0 MB of archives. After unpacking 32.8 kB will be used.

Failed to perform the requested operation on package. Trying to recover:
dpkg: dependency issues prevent python-dev configuration:

  The version of python on the system is 2.7.11-1.

dpkg: python-dev package (--configure) processing error:

I have try to upgrade it manualy, when dpkg etc.. But it still failed. Anyone have a solution?

Thank you

dependency issues prevent python-dev configuration:
python-dev depends on python (= 2.7.12-1 ~ 16.04); however:
The version of python on the system is 2.7.11-1.

you will have to upgrade Python before installing the Python-Dev

Go to your Synaptic package manager - in the search box type in python and select python 2.7.12-1~16.04 and install then install

i wanted to do it, but it want to install python-minimal first

Code: Select all

apt-get install python
Reading package lists ... Done
Building the dependency tree
Reading status information ... Done
Suggested packages:
   python-doc python-tk
The following packages will be updated:
   python
1 updated, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 93 not updated.
1 partially installed or removed.
It is necessary to take 0 o / 137 ko in the archives.
After this operation, 0 o of additional disk space will be used.
Parameterization of python-minimal (2.7.12-1 ~ 16.04) ...
dpkg: python-minimal package (--configure) processing error:
  the installed post-installation script subprocess returned a status output error 1
Errors were encountered during execution:
  python-minimal
E: Subprocess / usr / bin / dpkg returned an error code (1)

And the python package appear to be be broken in synaptic.
