python3 is already the newest version.

Package manager tells python3 had been installed.

debian8@hwy:~$ python3
bash: python3: command not found
debian8@hwy:~$ sudo find /  -name  'python3*'

Nothing output,how to fix the broken package manager?

  • I think this is not for OS, but for [SuperUser](http://superuser.com/). If you run in a terminal: `dpkg -l | grep python3`, find something? – Lucas Feb 11 '17 at 02:56

The first command will show you if the package is installed

~$ dpkg -l python3
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

ii  python3             3.5.1-3        amd64          interactive high-level object-oriented langu

this command will show you the location of python3 program if is installed.

~$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3

re install the package you removed check I have 'ii' and you have 'ri'

apt install --reinstall python3
