Public bug reported:
Error is thrown during apt upgrade run.
I think it failed to install python-gi package based on error.
Exited with
failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error
exit status 1
I have set python 3 to be default because I code in python and use
python 3 regulary.
When I change back to python 2 the update went through without issues.
$ sudo update-alternatives --config python
There are 2 choices for the alternative python (providing /usr/bin/python).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/bin/python3.6 2 auto mode
