Ahh, I could need some Linux help, after messing up my main partition by remove pyton stuff incidently. I trust in Orbinauts more then in some Linux-forum. I have a history.log. Is anyone good in this? View my profil.
Linguofreak:
When you removed python3, a whole bunch of things that depended on it being present were removed along with it (beyond just the packages you specified on the command line). You appear to have reinstalled the things that you had specified to be removed, but not the packages that were removed due to lost dependencies. Those are listed in history.log in the entry where you removed python3.
When removing packages, always pay attention to the list of packages being removed due to the removal if dependencies. If you're not sure that you no longer need everything being removed, don't proceed.
ca-certificates is also a package you generally don't want to remove, I noticed that was on the command line for the removal.

@Linguofreak, Thank you. My mistake. But how to fix it? I have another Linux partition, but I never used chroot to install on a dead partition. You found the history log? Send me a PM please.
Linguofreak:
I may or may not have time to look at this in depth. It's probably better that you open a thread in Brighton Lounge, as there are multiple people with significant Linux experience here. You say "dead partition". history.log indicates that you reinstalled the packages that you had directly removed, which indicates that the system was still running in the immediate aftermath and package management was working. Did you reboot and then have the system fail to come up? If so, what error messages are you getting on boot?
Please include answers to these questions when you create your thread.
Also, do you have separate home and root partitions?

System was running in the aftermath and didn't come up after reboot. [Start-screen picture missing or something]
I have several Linux in 4 partitions. Kali is the destroyed partition.
Furthermore I have another Kali and MX-Linux.

Thank you guys!
