Code:

sumit ~ # apt-get install python-minimal=2.7.11-1

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python : Depends: libpython-stdlib (= 2.7.11-1) but 2.7.12-1~16.04 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

yes, you may need to do the same with python:

Code:

apt-get install python=2.7.11-1

python is already the newest version (2.7.11-1).

You should be able to view your sources.list via the terminal:-

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

If you changed your sources list it would help to post it for us to view it.

Only replace your sources list when it's necessary; namely when you have a polluted list with wrong or defective sources in it. Don't do it for any other reason.

Here is the problem.
You don't have any hardware errors reported in dmesg or such?
Maybe it's caused by the mismatched python components (IIRC apt uses python).
You might try to use dpkg directly to install the correct python's (maybe with --force-depends or such - see man dpkg).

If that don't work, a reinstall will.

As to how you got yourself into this mess might be something to reflect on...

How I can install python directly using dpkg.

pan64 · 03-01-2018, 01:17 AM

you need to download package, for example instead of: apt-get install package=version use apt-get download package=version.
next dpkg -i <downloaded packages>.
But I suggest you to download both python and python-minimal and install them "in one", so enter: dpkg -i package1.deb package2.deb
Let we see what's happening.

Thanks, installing python manually and then using 'sudo apt -f install' has worked for now. Let's hope I will not face any other problem now.

But after everything am getting this error at the end of every installation
