Error dpkg python

Without thinking much about what I was doing, I deleted the bin / python3 folder.

Now I have problems with all.

I cannot install anything. I tried too many different thing from here trying too find a solution, but nothing.

For example when I try to do sudo apt install software-properties-common, I get:

....

dpkg: error processing package python3-dbus (--configure):

 python3-urllib3
 python3-minimal
 python-dnspython
 python3-distro-info
 python3-requests-unixsocket

When I try to do

sudo apt download python3* unattended-upgrades && sudo dpkg -i --force-all ./*.deb

I get the only output:

E: Unable to locate package python3-minimal_3.8.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb

I have Ubuntu 20.04

Apart from removing the python from bin I also touched the .bashrc fil.

My terminal and desktop works

sudo apt -f install

Question, you are speaking about /var/backups/ ? If yes, how I can restore?

@someone I'd like to build a canonical question by merging the three questions that I linked to into one question, but I haven't managed to do it yet.

@someone I certainly do need your help eventually, but I need about three months more to study the edge cases and the corner cases before I'll be ready to start trying to merge questions. What I particularly need help with is that in case there any empty holes in the canonical question where an answer should go, then I need someone to write and post that answer.

In my case I tried to get at least one python version in working condition, by creating a sym link such as: `sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/python3.6 /usr/bin/python3`. Then I reinstalled using `sudo apt install --reinstall python3 python python3-minimal --fix-broken`. If you don't even have python, you may need to try other means, good luck :)

From the comments and other answers,

First OP restored their .bashrc file by using this question.

First back up the old file:

cp ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc.bak

Copy the skeleton version of the file

cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/

Load the new file:

source ~/.bashrc

After that OP ran:

mkdir xyz && sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/python3* ~/xyz
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/unattended-upgrades* ~/xyz && sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/software-properties-common* ~/xyz

Then they ran:

sudo cp -r /var/lib/dpkg/status $HOME
echo > /var/lib/dpkg/status

Then at the end, they ran:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -f

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
