Status in apport source package in Artful:

Bug description:
  We are see lots of package installation failures that look like:

  package:apport:2.20.3-0ubuntu8
  Preparing to unpack .../023-apport_2.20.3-0ubuntu8.2_all.deb ...
    File "/usr/bin/pyclean", line 63
      except (IOError, OSError), e:
                               ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  One explanation for this is that pyclean is actually be run by python3
  instead of python2.7. To confirm and invalidate reports like this
  apport should check to see what /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python3
  are symlinks to or double check the versions of /usr/bin/python and
  /usr/bin/python3.
