[Bug 1416071] Re: package python-urllib3 1.7.1-1build1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[Robie Basak]

Your /usr/bin/python symlink is incorrect. It needs to point to Python
2, as per PEP 394. Otherwise system scripts will fail, because they
expect to find Python 2 there, not Python 3. Have you changed this by
hand?

So this looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in
Ubuntu.

You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community

Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in Ubuntu, rather than
configuration problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. This helps us
to focus on fixing bugs in Ubuntu.

If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful
to read "How to report bugs effectively"
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem
specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New.

** Changed in: python-urllib3 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
