Bug Description

My system is:
piotrek@p5q-pro:~$ sudo lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu quantal (development branch)
Release: 12.10

I have broken packages, particularly something with python3.

When I try to upgrade I'm getting something like this:

piotrek@p5q-pro:~$ LANG=en_US
piotrek@p5q-pro:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python3 : Depends: python3-minimal (= 3.2.3-3) but 3.2.3-4 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
piotrek@p5q-pro:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade -f

On first or second run apport tells me my problem was reported and redirects me to https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1024366 which currently says:

Lost something?
This page does not exist, or you may not have permission to see it.

If you have been to this page before, it is possible it has been removed.
(blah, blah, blah)

BTW how to repair package dependencies?

Hi Piotr, I agree that apport is leaving us in the dark here. Bug 1015798 is discussing the same problem, and I have linked the reports.

That python problem hit me, too; look at bug 1024016. The workarounds and links, down the page, may help you. Thanks.
