Status in python3.5 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  after installing visual studio code:

  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   libpython3.5-stdlib : Depends: libpython3.5-minimal (= 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.4) but 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.3 is to be installed
   python3.5-minimal : Depends: libpython3.5-minimal (= 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.4) but 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.3 is to be installed

  so I ran apt-get -f install and received this error
