Title:
  package python-crypto 2.6.1-6build1 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

Status in python-crypto package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm not sure what I'm doing.  Most of this seems automated.  I
  apologize for being mostly useless in this regard.

  There may have been multiple errors/ "crashes."  The one in the pop up
  window says:

  "pkg: python-samba 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.11"

  I hope this helps correct the problem.  Sorry for the lack of info.

  1) lsb_release -rd = 16.04

  2)  'apt-cache policy pkgname' results in 'Unable to locate package
  pkgname'

  3) I was updating via the terminal

  4) received crash reports that brought me here via an automated
  process.
