E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have tried

apt-get -f install and sudo dpkg --configure -a

what will I have to do?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Yeah I too faced these issues. This is because somewhere Debian jessie depends on Python 2.x and when we change the default python to python 3.x we face this errrors.

What I did to solve this error?

Change the default python to python 2. No need to remove Python 3.x so that whenever we need python we can use python 3 and for system default purpose python 2.x will be used. Someday systems will switch to Python 3.x

update-alternatives --config python There are 2 choices for the alternative python (providing /usr/bin/python).

Selection Path Priority Status

0 /usr/bin/python3.4 2 auto mode * 1 /usr/bin/python2.7 1 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/python3.4 2 manual mode

Answer 2

You can try to install anydbm and ConfigParser via pip and then try again with apt-get -f install. But I don't understand who this was happened. May be you have delete manually some packages?

Answer 3

Did the following and got it working.

sudo update-alternatives --remove-all python

and then

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python

after that I was able to upgrade the system properly and the modules were installed. Although python 3.4 was removed.
