    messed up apt-get packages

    Hi,

    I somehow tried to install some python module and got something like
    Code:
    Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
    Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
    Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
    ImportError: No module named site
    whenb i tried to just launch Python from bash. Then I thought i'd just purge it and reinstall it and that's when my issues started.
    Since I have done apt-get dist-upgrade, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and aapt-get -f install. And the last one gives me a bunch of lines like:
    Code:
    Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
    Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
    ImportError: No module named site

    and and when I try and ap-get dist upgrade I get:
    Code:
    # apt-get dist-upgrade
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     plasma-scriptengines : Depends: plasma-scriptengine-python (>= 4:4.11.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu12.04~ppa1) but 4:4.10.5-0ubuntu0.1~ubuntu12.04~ppa2 is installed
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
    root@DesktopOffice:~#
    How can I get this fixed? I don't know how I got here...

    Thanks!!!

    It would help if we knew more about this module. What is it? Where is it from? etc.

    What's the antecedent of "it" here -- the problematic module, or all of Python?

    The post-installation script compiles the Python files within the package. What's the output of:
    Code:
    sudo pycompile -p python-defer

    Let's start exploring. Please show the outputs of
    Code:
    dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | cut -c 1-116
    
    dpkg --audit
    
    dpkg --yet-to-unpack

      Sorry, yes it was snapconnect from synapse wireless: http://forums.synapse-wireless.com/u...-python2.7.zip

      it points to Python, yes... (which was likely a mistake, I see now!)

      yes it was the continuation. The complete output would've been very long, not sure if it would be helpful to post...

          See all those packages with "pF" in front? That's your problem. The package manager wants to remove them but can't because they're in half-configured states. Reggler's suggestion is a good first try, but it should be:
          Code:
          sudo dpkg --configure -a
          If that fails, post the output here so we can see why. We can then work through some methods to attempt repair.

              Were you in the middle of upgrading to KDE 4.11 from the backports repository during all of this?

                No, I wasn't... I really "just" wanted to install that Python package from Synapse...

                    Hey, sorry...I was away on vacation for a while. Are you still having this problem? If so, I've learned a bit more dpkg-foo that might help.

                      Steve,

                      I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I'm still having the same problem, yes. Any further help would be appreciated!
