Today I updated my system from 16.04.1 to 16.10. I faced no error during the update but after booting into the 16.10, when I type apt-get update && upgrade commands it gives an error on 20 installation even though they are up-to-date and working. It also causes too many system errors.

I encountered the same problem when upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10. As one output indicates and as VeeeneX answered, I solved it by uninstalling the "click" Python package with:

sudo pip3 uninstall click

After that, I could finish the Ubuntu 16.10 installation, with:

sudo apt-get -f install

This is weird. I don't remember having installed the "click" package manually with Python package manager (pip3) so it looks like a defect of the Ubuntu upgrade process.

  • That worked! Even thought my whole system failed after updating and I'm forced to do a clean install

Just go back to 16.04 LTS, If you want to remove unity execute these commands:

sudo pip3 uninstall click
sudo apt-get purge click
