The menu item "Repair broken packages" calls the following command:

env RELEASE_UPGRADER_NO_SCREEN=1 python3 "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DistUpgrader/dist-upgrade.py" --partial --frontend DistUpgradeViewText --datadir /usr/share/ubuntu-release-upgrader

However, that fails with the following:

Your python install is corrupted. Please fix the '/usr/bin/python' symlink.

This is because of the _pythonSymlinkCheck function in DistUpgradeController.py (provided by ubuntu-release-upgrader) using os.readlink('/usr/bin/python') but not os.readlink() on what the first os.readlink() call returned. That being said the whole function should be updated to see if python3 is being used.
