  • A quick look at a package in your messages shows all supported release of Ubuntu (you didn't say your release of Ubuntu) are all good - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=python3-apt&searchon=names -- have you sudo apt -f install yet?. Your issue was created earlier (a prior command) that was not fixed, that you haven't told us about. Even if you don't remember it, your logs will remind tell you. – guiverc Mar 24 '19 at 07:30
  • Do sudo dpkg --audit, this will show where the problem is. Then dpkg --configure -a and then apt -f install. – Joey Apr 02 '19 at 20:42
  • This duplicate flag is totally unreasonable. The "duplicate" questions have nothing to do with missing python3 package. – Silidrone Jun 23 '22 at 11:19
