after fresh install, I'm having problems to install updates. First I tried using Software Center, but updates couldn't be installed (no error was shown, but updates remained uninstall). After rebooting, I tried upgrading from console ($ sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade), and then I got dh-python error.
