I had my python working just fine on ubuntu...until today when i accepted the ubuntu package update. Since then my python 3.6 has been broken and I cant install it again. I have tried uninstalling it, but cannot reinstall it. I am trying with
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.6
After u try install I see this
The following additional packages will be installed:
libpython3.6-minimal libpython3.6-stdlib python3.6-minimal
Suggested packages:
python3.6-venv python3.6-doc binfmt-support
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libpython3.6-minimal libpython3.6-stdlib python3.6 python3.6-minimal
and it ends with this error:
