then in the root mode: I try the following command:
python -V
I get this:
Python 3.7.2
At last, can't go on the solution on web, because, when entering any command started with "dkpg" and "apt", I get the first error.
I try to install the dkpg from the base so, download the last version from the dpkg 1.18.25 page on snapshot.debian.org.
sudo dpkg -i dpkg_1.18.25_amd64.deb
then I try to use apt command, but again I get the error again.
