Whenever I install something that requires python3-dev it shows this message:



 The following packages have unmet dependencies:

python3-dev: Depends: python3 (= 3.6.7-1~18.04) but 3.6.7-1~18.04 is installed

      Whenever I install something that requires python3-dev it shows this message:



       The following packages have unmet dependencies:

      python3-dev: Depends: python3 (= 3.6.7-1~18.04) but 3.6.7-1~18.04 is installed
      Depends: libpython3-dev (= 3.6.7-1~18.04) but 3.6.7-1~18.04 is installed


      How can I fix this? Running Linux mint 18 XFCE



      Edit: I tried to reinstall python3 here:



      lukaka@Lukaka-Minecraft-PC:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3
      [sudo] password for lukaka:
      Reading package lists... Done

      You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
      The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      python3-dev : Depends: python3-distutils (>= 3.6.7-1~) but 3.6.5-3 is to be installed
      E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
