Why is this so and how to fix it?

Answers

Probably the database got corrupted while installing a package. Reconfiguring often fixes the problem.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get install -f

sudo apt remove  *carefully remove don’t do it for Linux Kernels (packages starting with linux-)

"first command sudo dpkg --configure -a" is giving me this error.

I guess I have messed up with the default python. Tried to reinstall it but no success.
