This is because the postinst scripts do not specify the complete path to python3.5. [Test Case] 1) Ensure the version of python3.5 from the release pocket is installed 2) Install python3 using the instructions at https://passingcuriosity.com/2015/installing-python-from-source/ 3) Confirm that python3.5 from /usr/local/bin/ is being used / the default 4) Upgrade to a newer version of python3.5 from -proposed Observe the following Traceback: Setting up python3.5-minimal (3.5.3-1) ...

Errors were encountered while processing: python3.5-minimal python3-minimal With the version of python3.5 from -proposed this Traceback will not be encountered. [Regression Potential] It's possible I missed a postinst script so other python3.5 binary packages should be installed to ensure they are all fixed e.g. python3.5-dbg. [Original Description] Got this error while using "Transmageddon Video Transcoder" and again while updating 16.10 to 17.04. Seems to have something to do with needing that Python3 version for Teletext decoding in media that is in transport stream format (.ts).
