[Bug 1660053] Re: package apport 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 2

[Benjamin Drung]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

The relevant log:

```
Preparing to unpack .../apport_2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5_all.deb ...
import: unable to open image `sys': Is a directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2712.
from: can't read /var/mail/os
from: can't read /var/mail/os.path
/usr/bin/pyclean: 29: /usr/bin/pyclean: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
```

So this looks like a problem of pyclean or a broken system. Reassigning
to python-minimal (source python-defaults) which ships pyclean.

** Package changed: apport (Ubuntu) => python-defaults (Ubuntu)
