    "error code(1)" simply means that some problem occurred that wasn't dpkg's fault. Please edit your question to show us the complete output of the entire apt or dpkg session, including the command(s) you were trying to run.

  • I tried to install cython. When doing so I sent command sudo apt install python3-pip. I'm struggling to even copy/paste text out of the xTerm into this comment box. Prior to throwing the sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1) it states "python3-apt command not found"... Still no ability to open the 'normal' terminal. Was not successful in installation of the cython
