Excluiu o binário python e não pode se recuperar usando o apt-get, o que posso fazer?

Bem. Sim. Queria um novo começo porque estava tendo confusões por dependência, então executei "whereis python" e literalmente apaguei todos os arquivos e diretórios que surgiram. Então, quando vou executar o apt-get install python, é claro que recebo muitos erros. Existe uma maneira de reinstalar o python no ubuntu sem fazer apenas uma limpeza?

Aqui está o resultado de tentar instalar o binário python:

No futuro, não faça isso. Não remova manualmente (ou mexa com) os arquivos instalados por meio das ferramentas de gerenciamento de pacotes (a menos que estejam explicitamente configurados para isso, como arquivos de configuração, etc.).

Dito isto, se você não conseguir (e parece que esse pode ser o caso) usar apt-getpara se recuperar dessa situação, porque há partes do processo que esperam que o python já esteja instalado, você tem algumas opções (nem todas) funcionará necessariamente).

Você pode buscar os .debarquivos python (e relacionados) manualmente e tentar usar dpkgpara instalá-los manualmente (precisará resolver a ordem de dependência manualmente para garantir que funcione corretamente). Algo como:

apt-get download python2.7-minimal ## at least this package is necessary
sudo touch /usr/bin/python2.7 && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/python2.7
sudo dpkg --unpack python2.7-minimal*

Você deve verificar se há outros binários ausentes, como pycompilee aplicar a mesma solução.

Depois disso, é recomendável verificar o banco de dados do dpkg procurando pacotes não configurados, semi-configurados e apenas descompactados:

sudo dpkg --check

Leia as mensagens e aplique correções, mas normalmente seria necessário sudo dpkg --configure -a. Um sudo apt-get -f installpoderia ajudar dependendo da situação.

Você também pode usar um modo de recuperação de mídia de instalação (ou reinstalação) para corrigir isso.

Existe uma maneira de reinstalar o python no ubuntu sem fazer apenas uma limpeza?

Sim. Reinstale sem formatação.

Também será o método mais rápido de corrigir isso, pois você provavelmente já possui um Live DVD.

Abra um terminal e digite os seguintes comandos:

Primeira tentativa

sudo apt-get -f install 

Se isso não funcionar, tente

sudo dpkg --configure -a 

Se você ainda tiver problemas, execute

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python python-chardet python-colorama python-distlib python-django python-django-tables2 python-six python-html5lib python-lxml python-minimal python-pkg-resources python-setuptools python-urllib3 python-requests python-pip python-virtualenv

Como último recurso, pode ser necessário remover esses pacotes com o seguinte comando e depois reinstalar esses pacotes usando o comando acima. Se for esse o caso, você precisará prestar muita atenção. Haverá uma lista de pacotes desinstalados com o seguinte comando. Você precisará copiar esta lista e colá-la no gedit. Com o gedit aberto e a lista de pacotes colados no gedit, pressione ctrl+ he digite \ n seguidos por dois espaços em "Procurar" e um espaço em "Substituir por" para remover todos os parágrafos e espaços extras antes de clicar em substituir tudo, para que você list contém uma lista de pacotes separados apenas por espaços únicos.

sudo apt-get purge python-chardet python-colorama python-distlib python-django python-django-tables2 python-six python-html5lib python-lxml python-minimal python-pkg-resources python-setuptools python-urllib3 python-requests python-pip python-virtualenv

Por fim, execute: sudo apt-get installe cole na lista de pacotes do gedit para reinstalar tudo.

Você deve remover cada pacote que apresentar dificuldades e depois reinstalá-los.

Consulte /ubuntu//a/32899/176376 para remoção sem remover dependências.

sudo dpkg -r --force-depends "package"

sudo apt-get install "package"

Você deve remover todos os problemas primeiro e depois instalá-los novamente.

Execute um sudo apt-get install -fe sudo dpkg --configure -acada poucos comandos.

Vejo que você tem erros como este:

python2.7: not found

Isso significa que o executável python 2.7 não pode ser encontrado. Eu usei esses comandos para encontrar o pacote que o contém (que provavelmente não funcionaria no seu sistema quebrado)

$ which python2.7
/usr/bin/python2.7
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/python2.7
python2.7-minimal: /usr/bin/python2.7

Você precisa reinstalá-lo, mas primeiro precisa passar por suas dependências. Use estes comandos para listá-los:

$ apt-cache depends python2.7-minimal
python2.7-minimal
  Depends: libpython2.7-minimal
  Depends: zlib1g
  PreDepends: libc6
  Suggests: binfmt-support
    binfmt-support:i386
  Recommends: python2.7
  Conflicts: binfmt-support
  Conflicts: binfmt-support:i386
  Replaces: python2.7
  Replaces: python2.7:i386
  Conflicts: python2.7-minimal:i386

O libpython2.7-minimal provavelmente está danificado. Então, eu recomendo que você primeiro problema:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpython2.7-minimal

então:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall python2.7-minimal

e então espero que seu

sudo apt-get -f install

terá sucesso.

Esse é o comportamento esperado. Excluir arquivos não é o mesmo que desinstalar um pacote ou programa.

Você excluiu todas as coisas relacionadas à python da sua instalação, mas o seu gerenciador de pacotes não sabe disso. Quando você instala o Python novamente, o apt espera que todos esses arquivos ainda estejam lá e não se incomoda em tentar baixá-los novamente. No que diz respeito ao apt, todo o python ainda está instalado; Você nunca disse o contrário.

Você pode tentar o seguinte para tentar corrigir isso:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python

No futuro, desinstale pacotes usando apt-get removeou apt-get purgeou graficamente do Ubuntu Software Center.
