I tested installing python3 using the instructions at
https://passingcuriosity.com/2015/installing-python-from-source/ and
sure enough I received the same Traceback.
Setting up python3.5-minimal (3.5.3-1) ...

No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup
error from a previous failure.

Once I removed /usr/local/bin/python3.5 I was then able to fix the
upgrade via 'sudo apt-get -f install'.
