[Bug 1683187] [NEW] package python-apt 1.4.0~beta2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Rex L]

Public bug reported:

Error dialog appeared some time after first login post upgrade from
16.10 to 17.04.

Trying to resolve issues with clamav-daemon systemd service and
virtualbox at the time - not sure where this error triggered.

Was having issues with python 3.6 beta - uninstalled due to 17.04
upgrade failure.
