title: How to restore after accidentally apt-get remove python
body: <p>Yeah. I've done this. It was stupid.</p>
  <p>I did not know it's going to take its dependencies with itself, only wanted to install python 2 and 3 from scratch (because of this problem: <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/897355/how-to-change-default-idle-for-python">https://askubuntu.com/questions/897355/how-to-change-default-idle-for-python</a>).</p>
  <p>Now, I can still use my terminal, checked these answers:</p>

  <p>However after running <code>sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop</code> I get these errors:</p>

  <p>Every apt-get install command throws this.</p>
  <p>Is there a way to restore these dependencies?</p>
