I have installed Elasticsearch and now due to some changes done by other folks at my work place some errors keep on popping up during any operation like update, install a new package and also the elasticsearch is not working properly.
Error Log is attached for installing new package.

I restarted the system but the error keep on appearing again and again.
Any one with suggestions on how to solve this issue?
Also this command gives nothing
$ systemctl status systemd-sysctl.service
Failed to get properties: No such interface ''
is systemd your init service in this installation? Also what linux distribution is this? Which version of your distribution? I am currently thinking that you might not be using systemd, but the elasticsearch package is assuming this somehow.
I'd highly appreciate if you open up a bug report in the elasticsearch repository with all of the above information, this warrants more research on the ES side (disclaimer: I'm an ES developer and keen to get this fixed :-).
Also: You can try to remove the elasticsearch package completely by running dpkg -P elasticsearch.
And in addition you can try to add set -x to /var/lib/dpkg/info/elasticsearch.postinst and run sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/elasticsearch.postinst configure
to get more debugging output
I had quite the same problem.
It is obiviously related to systemctl, not elasticsearch.
First you have to determine if u are using it.
[[ `systemctl` =~ -\.mount ]] && echo yes || echo no
In my case, the answer was "no"
So you have to enable it.

I wanted to update python 3.8 to 3.10 but ran into some issues which is why I wanted to reinstall python, however, when removing it, I ran into even more issues and now I am unsure of what to do.
I am not experienced with ubuntu, but now my package manager system seems to be broken. When I try running commands such as, apt-get install -f, I get the following error.

Some notes: I really really don't want to change the SD Card and parcially lose what I have, second I've tried sudo apt-get install -f and sudo apt update --fix-missing when i followed this guide the sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove --reinstreq command was showing this error dpkg: error: unknown force/refuse option 'remove'
As it turns out I still had remainnings of Python2 and Python3 binaries and those were not linked properly by the OS, this means that Python3 was linked to Python2 and vice-versa.
To get it working I had to:
Uninstall the Python2 dependencies
Get the link working correctly
Reinstall Python2 with wget
Verify if all links are working correctly (for Raspbian this means):
python --version links to Python2
python2 --version links to Python2
python3 --version links to Python3
Use the following commands:
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives//python-rpi.gpio_0.7.0-0.1~bpo10+4_armhf.deb
Still have the same problem, use:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/python-rpi.gpio.* /tmp/
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq python-rpi.gpio
A typo in your command sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove --reinstreq isn't valide. The correct option is --force-remove-reinstreq. See dpkg --force-help.
I'm trying to install Python3 package which was required to upgrade it to 16.04 LTS and then 18.04 OS. I've come across several links to solve it, but found no luck. Implemented following steps to remove and reinstall -
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/<packagename>.* /tmp/
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <packagename>
sudo apt-get remove <packagename>
sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean
However, seeing the same issues

I'm having Python 2.x problems on Ubuntu 15.04. I wanted to completely uninstall and reinstall Python. I can't uninstall Python because mercurial-common depends on it. I try to remove that and I get an error:

If you type which pyclean I assume it exists.
However I suspect you python problems prevent it working. (you could try running it manually to verify this)
Unfortunately pyclean is in package python-minimal so you prolly can't uninstall this before mercurial-common.
you could try just removing it manually by:
sudo mv /usr/bin/pyclean /usr/bin/pyclean.backup
(Just remember to put it back).
Alternatively rather than completely removing python you could try just reinstalling python package .deb over the top of the existing install using dpkg --install
This problem occur after I try to use the script to install Maya 2014 and because I failed with some libraries, I used synaptic package manager to completely remove Maya and I used
sudo rm -r /usr/autodesk
After that I used Terminal to install Skype and get this error message

I will now install Wine and put the whole process and it will be more clear where the error occur.
Here's the installation process
Errors were encountered while processing:
composite-2014
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
try this commands:
apt-get install -f
dpkg-reconfigure -a
maybe helps
If the last answer don't work as well (like it happens to me .. and its rear)
Just "Fake" /usr/autodesk/Composite_2014/etc/configure.py
Open the Terminal (ctl+alt+t)
sudo nautilus
Browse to /usr/autodesk and create Composite_2014/etc/configure.py (one by one)
good luck
