I see. I'm a little surprised a distribution chose to package a prerelease (but then again there was only one bugfix release between 0.2 and 0.3, so maybe not).
I have no idea why installing git would try to do execvp on python3, but that looks like you need to install python3? According to http://www.linuxmint.com/oldreleases.php, Linux Mint 16 has been "Obsolete since July 2014" so you may also need to upgrade to a supported version of the distribution for the package manager to work properly. I'm not sure.
