I upgraded to 16.04 three weeks back. In my /usr/bin I have all python versions from 2.7 to 3.5. By default /usr/bin/python pointed to python2.7. I tried to make it point to python3.5.

I went through some tech site instructions and ended up creating a softlink /usr/bin/python3.5 -> /usr/local/bin/python but /usr/local/bin/python didn't exist. In an attempt to clean up the broken /usr/bin/python3.5 link, I also ended up deleting the /usr/bin/python3.5 executable. I tried to upgrade python or my distribution but I am getting errors.

How can I fix this? I can't open gnome-terminal.

Do not use upgrade follow the instructions here I deleted package 'python3' on Ubuntu and I have lost dashboard, terminal and Unity. Help me to restore my data please

In future use update-alternatives instead of creating symlinks manually https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-from-default-to-alternative-python-version-on-debian-linux
