Hi Thokozani, thank your for your report and your help to make Ubuntu better.
I retried but it is not a general issue happening all the Time. >From the Logs: /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-bs4.postinst: 6: /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-bs4.postinst: pycompile: not found dpkg: error processing package python-bs4 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127 And: dpkg: error processing package python-pil:amd64 (--configure): package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting configuration dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python-imaging: python-imaging depends on python-pil; however: Package python-pil:amd64 is not configured yet. I usually recommend to quickly go back the dependency chain these issues belong to and reinstall the packages just to be sure as outlined in [1]. On your issue in particular you could also check: $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/pycompile Which should tell you the package that provides pycompile on your system. That should be python-minimal and you can check if anything is broken in there with: $ dpkg --verify python-minimal Please report back if that already helped, but if not please set it back to new and provide the packground on your pycompile as good as possible.
