I accidentally modified python3 symbolic links due to which most of the features are not working. I cannot even open the terminal. Is there a way to revert this? I am using Ubuntu 17.04.

1Could you please add a little more detail? What exactly did you do, what did you want to achieve and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question (edit). You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. (see How do I ask a good question?) – dessert Dec 28 '17 at 8:25
Try to reinstall python3-minimal
package with
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3-minimal
If it does not help you can reinstall all python3 packages with
sudo apt-get install --reinstall \
$(dpkg -l | grep python3 | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}')
You can use xterm or plain terminal (accessed from Ctrl+Alt+F1).

@dessert NO. On my system (of course with
--simulate
option) it causes unmet dependencies and conflicts. So it is bad idea. – N0rbert Dec 29 '17 at 10:55
