[Bug 1793304] [NEW] package libglib2.0-dev 2.48.2-0ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Geokimbo]

Public bug reported:

This is likely an issue to do with having both python2.7 and 3.5 on the
machine. The work around is the same as that I gave for samba in Bug
1651660.

TL:DR Copy weakref.py from the 3.5 directory to the 2.7 directory and
edit syntax until offender installs

Patched weakref.py uploaded to the above mentioned bug.

The root of the problem is likely either the QGIS 3.2 repo install or
the Paraview 5.5 binary copy.

Cheers
