Greetings I was trying to clean up my /usr/bin directory so was discarding older versions of software. Had python3.10 available so thought (foolishly - - now clear) that python3.9 was a great candidate for discard. Nope nix and no way.
Now I have myself more than a bit of a mess with my installed python systems. Suggestions as to how to repair my 'mess'? (Following is what the apt update upgrade process barfs up. Please - - - I'm not any kind of programmer just an over eager user who tends to beat his systems up - - - hard!!) Setting up python2.7-minimal (2.7.18-13.1) ...
