Hey, Sorry for the trouble, I've got the same this moring. I did raised that issue on https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect/issues/220 as even if the file isn't used in python2, our postinst precompiler is trying to turn it into .pyc, hence the failure, you are seeing.
I've thus removed the package from the ppa (and it's not available anymore). For people being broken, the easiest path right now would be to revert to trusty's pexpect version with: $ apt-get install python-pexpect/trusty python3-pexpect/trusty (you may have to dpkg -P python-pexpect to remove the one in error first). Do not hesitate if you need any help, sorry again for that issue :) ** Changed in: ubuntu-make (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1507871 Title: python-pexpect 4.0.1-0~ppatrusty2 from ubuntu-make ppa fails to install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-make/+bug/1507871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
