[Bug 1079836] Re: Python 2.7 fails to install after upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10

[Christopher Garay]

I receive the following error:

"E: Internal Error, No file name for python2.7:amd64"

sudo apt-get install python2.7 yields this error which may be
informative:

"Reading package lists...

python2.7 is already the newest version.

Title:
  Python 2.7 fails to install after upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After installing, I saw a bunch of errors about python 2.7.3 not being
  configured.  I typed

  sudo apt-get install python2.7

  which yields the following error followed by a long list of related
  errors (full list at http://pastebin.com/n15SNfuF):

  python2.7: can't open file '/usr/lib/python2.7/py_compile.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
  dpkg: error processing python2.7 (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python:
   python depends on python2.7 (>= 2.7.3); however:
    Package python2.7 is not configured yet.

  I do have a version of python2.7.3 installed from source.  I tried
  redirecting PYTHONHOME to the library directory of that python but
  that didn't help.  Removing those libraries also fails to fix the
  problem.  Finally, I tried to download the package using apt-get
  download and to install from the resulting .deb file but got the same
  error.
