The post installation file /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-minimal.postinst
runs the following command:
python2.7 -m compileall /usr/share/python/ >/dev/null
Running the command manually (without the /dev/null redirect) produces
the following error for me:
Compiling
/usr/share/python/rekall-forensic/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pexpect/async.py

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I removed the /usr/share/python/rekall-forensic folder and was able to
"apt install -f". Likely a different package is causing you trouble, but
try running that command for more information.

Title:
package python-minimal 2.7.12-1~16.04 failed to install/upgrade:
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 1
Status in python-defaults package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
There seems to be a dependency snarl:
python-minimal is already the newest version (2.7.12-1~16.04).
python-minimal set to manually installed.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python : PreDepends: python-minimal (= 2.7.11-1) but 2.7.12-1~16.04 is to be
installed
python-all : Depends: python (= 2.7.12-1~16.04) but 2.7.11-1 is to be
installed
python-all-dev : Depends: python (= 2.7.12-1~16.04) but 2.7.11-1 is to be
installed
Depends: libpython-all-dev (= 2.7.12-1~16.04) but 2.7.11-1
is to be installed
python-dev : Depends: python (= 2.7.12-1~16.04) but 2.7.11-1 is to be
installed
Depends: libpython-dev (= 2.7.12-1~16.04) but 2.7.11-1 is to be
installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).
apt-get -f install tries to set up python-minimal (2.7.12-1~16.04) and
returns 1.
