Any ideas about what is going wrong here?

If it's the same problem I had, then python3.2 may have been removed, or partially removed.

For some reason, simply running `python3.2` also showed the same error messages.

Now I have tried to re-install quite a few different things via apt-get, the one that seemed to work was:

Code: Select all

apt-get install --reinstall python3.2-minimal

As just re-installing `python3.2` implied everything was ok, and didn't seem to change anything, even though the /usr/lib/python3* folders did not exist.
