I am getting this error when I try to install anything. I try

sudo apt-get install python2.7-minimal. It won't work. Can anyone help me?

Here is the code again. 

E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'python2.7-minimal'.Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)

Open a terminal and execute:

  sudo apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f apt python-minimal

If you experience a dependency issue, such like 

libglib2.0-0: Recommends: libglib2.0-data but it is not going to be installed

execute these commands:

  sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade
  sudo apt-get install -o APT::Immediate-Configure=false -f apt python-minimal
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  sudo apt-get autoremove
