It seems my instance of python3 (on a Kubuntu virtual box) asked to install meep as part of some other package installation process. That installation failed, and now every time I try to install a packages I get a meep-related installation error. For instance, this just happened today.

No amount of auto-removing purging or removing has had any effect. Update and upgrading have not worked. I'm at wits end. Does anyone have any suggestions short of ripping out python and reinstalling everything?
I had the same issue on my system. I have done something that is most likely not recommended. I did not have a choice except taking the risk. If you follow the procedure below, you are also taking a risk. However, the only assurance is that it worked for me.
The guilty package is python3-meep. It perhaps got upgraded without the package name being changed internally. This is where I confirmed the issue. A search revealed that the issue has been reported and fixed in Debian. It will perhaps take some time to make its way through to Ubuntu
$grep python-meep /var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-meep.*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-meep.postinst: pycompile -p python-meep
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-meep.prerm: pyclean -p python-meep
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-meep.prerm: dpkg -L python-meep | grep \.py$ | while read file
So in the file
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-meep.postinst I replaced the occurrence of python-meep with python3-meep.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/python3-meep.prerm I replaced two occurrences of python-meep with python3-meep.
Then I could remove python3-meep
$ sudo apt-get remove python3-meep

Hi I'm trying to get a specific version of python working in a virtualenv
I tried these solutions:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/682869/how-do-i-install-a-different-python-version-using-apt-get
I didn't do the compiling answers because it looked like doing that was going to get rid of my "old" newer version of python.
So I'm mostly concerned with the first answer. I did this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.3
it seemed to work out ok although I didn't get a "python3.3 is installed message" or however it's supposed to look:

After this was done, I expected python 3.3 to be available in usr/bin so I could set up a virtualenv with it, but it's not. Is there a step I'm missing?
Thanks!
Found out that 3.3 doesn't work with my ubuntu 20.04. I thought because my python2.7 worked I could just move up to 3.3 no problem. I guess the 2.7 only is there because it was leftover from an older ubuntu.
Anyways, python3.5 worked for me!
I assume you're using ubuntu 20.04
Unfortunately, without funding I can't provide packages for python<3.5 on 20.04 because those versions never received the libssl1.1 patches upstream. I could patch them myself but that's a lot of work I can't rationalize doing for free. So on 20.04 you'll need to use python3.5+
The reason "something" installed was apt-get """helpfully""" normalized your package name to something completely unrelated:

I suspect, this problem has occured from the time I have installed the anaconda package of python. The following steps helped me to resolve the issue.
Step 1: Restart the machine
Step 2: $ sudo apt-get remove slack
Step 3: Download the latest version of slack from Slack website (Find the latest package here - https://slack.com/):
$ wget https://downloads.slack-edge.com/linux_releases/slack-desktop-2.9.0-amd64.deb
Step 4: $ Install the downloaded package using the dpkg utility:
sudo dpkg -i slack-desktop-2.9.0-amd64.deb

I assume you're interested in the slack of https://slack.com. Don't install it through sudo apt install slack: this is another package (if you're interested in this other mysterious slack package, run apt show slack).
To install the slack of https://slack.com, follow the instructions on their website. At the moment, a convenient way is sudo snap install slack --classic, perhaps preceded by sudo apt install snap.
(don't forget to sudo apt remove slack...)
For me All my programs fail if installed through the Ubuntu app store. If I go to the website and manually install their software from their links then everything works fine.
Doing this fixed this exact issue for me for slack. Just went to the slack site and downloaded the .deb file
I had the same issue. Even downloading the slack .deb file from Slack failed.
I tried sudo apt reinstall slack etc but did not work.
SOLUTION: https://snapcraft.io/slack
sudo snap install slack --classic
This solved it for me even while it was still in a "broken" state.
said#said:~$ sudo rm /usr/sbin/slack
