Hopefully I've attached the right files you need.
At the moment, I can't run updates because the same error pops up. At
boot I get a red 'STOP' icon in the top right corner of the menu bar and
if I try to update I get a message telling me the "Package system is
broken". Following the instruction to run "apt-get install -f" results
in a list of 'no longer needed' files then:
"The following additional packages will be installed: python3"
"The following packages will be upgraded: python3"
"1 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 10 not to upgrade."
"10 not fully installed or removed"
"Need to get 0B/8,696 B of archives"
"After this operation 0B of additional disk space will be needed"
After continuing, this is the dialog:
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

I hope this is helpful. I have not tried removing python references from
/usr/local as Dave Kuhlman tried but unless any other ideas come up,
I'll try that shortly.
