  • A quick look at a package in your messages shows all supported release of Ubuntu (you didn't say your release of Ubuntu) are all good - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=python3-apt&searchon=names -- have you `sudo apt -f install` yet?. Your issue was created earlier (a prior command) that was not fixed, that you haven't told us about. Even if you don't remember it, your logs will remind tell you. – guiverc Mar 24 '19 at 07:30
  • Do `sudo dpkg --audit`, this will show where the problem is. Then `dpkg --configure -a` and then `apt -f install`. – Joey Apr 02 '19 at 20:42
  • This duplicate flag is totally unreasonable. The "duplicate" questions have nothing to do with missing python3 package. – Silidrone Jun 23 '22 at 11:19
