FYI, this procedure allowed for the install: $ mkdir -p ~/tmp/local_python/bin $ mkdir -p ~/tmp/local_python/lib $ sudo mv /usr/local/bin/* ~/tmp/local_python/bin $ sudo mv /usr/local/lib/python* ~/tmp/local_python/lib $ sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libpython* ~/tmp/local_python/lib
$ sudo apt --fix-broken install Then I copying everything back to /usr/local. Cheers, and thanks for the heads up that it was a local python that was messing with the install.
