Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your dmesg attachment in this bug report it

to investigate the health of your hardware.  In the event that is is not
in fact an error with your hardware please set the bug's status back to
New.  Thanks and good luck!

Title:
  package python-crypto 2.6.1-6build1 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

Status in python-crypto package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm not sure what I'm doing.  Most of this seems automated.  I
  apologize for being mostly useless in this regard.

  There may have been multiple errors/ "crashes."  The one in the pop up
  window says:

  "pkg: python-samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.11"

  I hope this helps correct the problem.  Sorry for the lack of info.

  1) lsb_release -rd = 16.04

  2)  'apt-cache policy pkgname' results in 'Unable to locate package
  pkgname'

  3) I was updating via the terminal

  4) received crash reports that brought me here via an automated
  process.
