Without doing the purge first (which I don't recommend since it can lead to other dependency issues), I downgraded with:
$ sudo apt-get -y --force-yes install python-pexpect/trusty-updates python3-pexpect/trusty-updates Using trusty didn't work for me (perhaps the version was too old?) and the force-yes was required to deal with the previous errors. Afterwards, an update/upgrade did not provide a new version, so the ppa is not providing me the erroneous package. -- 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
