Title:
  package python2.7-minimal 2.7.12-1~16.04 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 2

Status in python2.7 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Recently upgraded from a regularly updated Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to Ubuntu
  16.04.  I have had a problem with dpkg complaining about struct and
  then python-minimal.

  I tried to remove the existing python2.7 packages ( later
  /usr/lib/python2.7 as well ) and then doing a clean install of python
  2.7.  I think I might have missed some python2.7 and saw a python2.7.5
  doc package.
