Run the following command:

apt-get  -f install

to correct a system with broken dependencies in place.

Try also: dpkg --configure -a.

Note that py3compile file is part of python3-minimal package, so if you still got the problem, try reinstalling that package. If you can't reinstall using apt-get, try to download .pkg file from kernel.org and install manually (python3-minimal*). E.g.

dpkg -i python3-minimal_*.deb
