Не может обновить ubuntu 16.04 LTS к 18.04 LTS

Когда я пытаюсь обновить до Ubuntu 18.04 (от 16.04 LTS) с командой:

-обновление-версии sudo-d

Я получил следующую ошибку:

Я пытался обновить и зафиксировать пропавших без вести со следующей командой все еще, проблема сохраняется

склонные sudo - получают установку-f

вывод lsb_release следующие

lsb_release-a

LSB Version:    core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch
    Distributor ID: Ubuntu
    Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
    Release:    16.04
    Codename:   xenial

как предложено здесь я изменил специальные символы в /var/lib/dpkg/status но проблема все еще происходит.

Я думаю, что мой Python имеет некоторую проблему, когда я пытаюсь установить пакет от зернышка со следующей командой

pip install pyfaidx

Я получил подобную ошибку

Как я исправляю Python?
