[Bug 1024204] Re: package python3 3.2.3-3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4

[asala]

Well, something very related (for a novice, at least) occurred to me in: Bug #1244198 
so it seems some regression might be out there.

My output when upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10... 
Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

dpkg: error processing python3 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of foomatic-db-compressed-ppds:
 foomatic-db-compressed-ppds depends on python3; however:
  Package python3 is not configured yet.

So, I'm stuck for the moment with a non-functional system.
