Comment 2 for bug 1168801

NOTE: Today, 'apt-get -f install' gave me different results. It upgraded
'python3 python3-dev python3-minimal' instead of trying to uninstall
apparently everything that depends on python3. My current problem seems
to be fixed, but I don't know the bug that caused it.

NOTE2: Today is the first time I ran 'sudo apt-get update' from the
command line, though I assume that must have been happening
automatically. (I was unable to update for several days.)

> What is the complete command line issued?

I got the same error message from the following commands:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get upgrade python3=3.2.3-5ubuntu1.1

I also got a similar error from the Update Manager, which was trying to
update python3 and python3-minimal, among others.

I didn't ask for it. I can only assume there must have been a mismatched
version number in the package list.

Anyway, thanks for the guidance.
