[Bug 1737296] Re: package python-samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.11 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 127

[Andreas Hasenack]

Do a reinstall then:

sudo apt install --reinstall python-minimal

Also run this:

ls -la /usr/bin/pycompile /usr/bin/pyclean /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/pyversions
