Can't install any package

[plugwash]

Try

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

[leo]

Isn't there a way to remove Python with force and reinstall it completely? Possibly my SD-Card is damaged, but before setting everything up newly I would like to give it one more try.

Ok it seems it successfully reinstalled python2.7-minimal, now try apt-get -f install

[leo]

Hi,
the apt-get -f succeeded, all looks good now. Seems like this solved the problem.
The first thing I'll do now is make a backup of the SD-Card
Thanks a lot for your help!

So what happens if you do what it asks and run "sudo dpkg --configure -a"

[Mr.Mancardo]

I think that fixed the 'sudo' for my raspberry pi, but will that fix my pi store

[plugwash]

I would suggest trying it and if it doesn't work posting in the pistore forum.

I have recently upgraded the distro to stretch from jessie. I am using raspberry pi 3b.
I had power breakdown during upgrade, however, continued the installation by giving the command shown in terminal.

Now I am not able to install any package as I am getting following error, when I install any package. (I was asked to install firmware-brcm80211 to start using wifi).

I am getting following error while installing packages.

Further, my wifi is not starting by default as it shows error when I put cursor on network icon on top right of the window " Connection to dhcpcd lost.

In the future, please create a separate topic, since it's not related to this one.

Looks like there are 3 issues here:
1) Something isn't right with your apt sources.
2) Your /etc/network/interfaces has been modified (as the message you posted says). That's fine, if you don't want to use the default network setup, including the GUI applet.
3) Something to do with 1-wire, but I'm not sure what that's about. Are you trying to use 1-wire for anything?

What is the output of 'sudo apt update && apt-cache policy; cat /etc/network/interfaces'?
