  apt-get install python3.5-minimal is not configured yet

Status in python3.5 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi (my first bug :)

  My system:
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  Package details:
  $ apt-cache policy apt
  apt:
    Installed: 1.2.24
    Candidate: 1.2.24
    Version table:
   *** 1.2.24 500
          500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  What expected to happen:
  Update my packages with software updater/apt-get install

  What happened:
  The update popup appeared with the software updater (1 and 1/2 weeks ago as I remember) and I hit to install. The installer failed, and since then I cannot update. With sudo apt-get install or sudo apt-get -f install I get:

  $ sudo apt-get install
