[Bug 599208] Re: python3 fails to install (postinst has invalid shebang line)

[Michael Bienia]

After fixing the postinst, I got the following output but the package
configuration succeeded (dpkg lists it as installed):

$ sudo dpkg --configure --pending
Setting up python3 (3.1.2-2ubuntu1) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
