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

OK so this is what I did to resolve the problem (I hope) Crude but it appears to work. 1/ go to /usr/lib/pytho2.7 and rename weakref.py to weakref-org.py 2/ copy weakref.py from /usr/lib/python3.5 to usr/lib python2.7 3/ sudo apt-get -f install and edit until it runs 4/ rename the weakref-org.py b

This is still an issue for 16.04 and an 80 "core" system. SysInfo only shows 72 cores while lscpu shows 80. As an aside the layout of the SysInfo GUI could do with a workover. For 4 CPUs it is fine but after that it starts to get very red. I have 3 machines with dual hexacores and 2 machines with
