I was installing coursera-dl (https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera- dl) and this had a specific crypto dependency and i starting installing the same with pip. But the crypto dependency had python3 as a requirement
Then i did the below 1) Moved /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2 2) Linked /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python3.7 3) Executed the below commands coursera-dl virtualenv my-coursera 180 virtualenv my-coursera 181 sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv 182 sudo apt-get install python3-virtualenv 183 sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv 184 coursera-dl 185 pip3 install cffi 186 sudo pip3 install cffi ...... Was able to use coursera-dl Then on the apt-get update started failing please i have attached the complete command line history in the attachment "aptcommandhistory.txt" ** Attachment added: "apt command history" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/requests/+bug/1734661/+attachment/5015648/+files/aptcommandhistory.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734661 Title: package python-requests 2.2.1-1ubuntu0.3 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/requests/+bug/1734661/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
