If I've changed the target of /usr/bin/python
from /usr/bin/python2.7
to /usr/bin/python3.2
(I realize this was an ABSOUTELY HORRIBLE idea) in Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS. Afterwards, several applications, including software-center
and update-manager
have stopped working. Insofar as I can tell, this is because they are written in Python2.7. I replaced the default /usr/bin/python
shebang with the 2.7 one, and this fixes them on the application level. Switching /usr/bin/python
back to /usr/bin/python2.7
really isn't an option, but is there a list of all applications installed by default in Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, if installed from a new CD-R, that use a shebang of #!/usr/bin/python
instead of #!/usr/bin/pythonX.Y
?
