Title:
  package python3 3.5.1-3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 127

Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It fucked up my dsektop. It went total blank.

  I manage to fix my desktop by removing everything in the
  etc/Python2.7/ file, since it hindered me from using apt-get -f
  install and installing my packages for different programs. And also
  from reinstalling ubuntu-desktop.

  Once i removed it i could reinstall the ubuntu-desktop and the OS
  works again.
