I am running on Kubuntu 20.04. I uninstalled python3, now system is broken.

When I boot to root recovery mode, I can not run apt update or apt install to fix all the broken packages.

If I run sudo apt update...

Temporary failure resolving 'ca.achive.ubuntu'

Along with about 10 other instance of errors like this.

Right after I realized my mistake, I reinstalled python. Now that I rebooted it totally borked because of the other packages that are gone.

I know there are lots of questions about how to fix uninstalled python, but this question is about how to fix my broken apt now.

    Many Ubuntu tools use python (python3 esp. in modern releases), so you lose access to those tools should you remove python. That includes front-end tools like apt (dpkg will still work)... Apt is not broken, it needs python for it to work; your issue is you removed python.... (Minimum requirement of Ubuntu is python3-minimal | 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 | focal; maybe now 3.8.5 but that's what rmadison currently tells me) – guiverc Feb 06 '21 at 05:17
  • I reinstalled python right afterwards and it is now installed. The problem is the packages it uninstall with it have broke the system. – Scorb Feb 06 '21 at 05:18
