[Bug 1656654] [NEW] package python2.7-minimal:amd64 2.7.12-3build1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Jalil Salamé]

Public bug reported:

It ended up uninstalling other programs when I used 'sudo apt
autoremove'; I guess it was my fault on that; I installed (tried to) the
Atom IDE and it stopped working in the middle, it told me to use 'sudo
apt autoremove', which I used and crashed the packages and then I used
'sudo apt update', all the things that weren't uninstalled seem to be
working fine.
