[Bug 1750586] Re: package python-minimal 2.7.12-1~16.04 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
I faced issues when upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 (I don't remember exactly, maybe from 16.04.3 to 16.04.4). At end of the upgrade it showed following error: Setting up python-minimal (2.7.12-1~16.04) ...

Thanks, Stephen. I had the same results as Mattias, mine was datapulley instead of rekall-forensic. Your direction of running the compile without the redirect so I could see the output was what got me there. FWIW, datapulley seemed to be the only package in that folder. Is yours the same? (Mattias, same question for you.) Considering how much... uh... stuff I have installed and how integral Python is to Ubuntu it would seem to me that there would be more; maybe some folks didn't take a hint that they should be doing a thing a certain way. Perhaps this is somewhat more systemic? I don't know enough about Python or its package management to even start diagnosing something like this. I'm filing with datapulley, which broke my apt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750586 Title: package python-minimal 2.7.12-1~16.04 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/1750586/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you Stephen, your solution worked for me too.

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 ...
