So I was trying to install Cython on my Debian machine, and in the installation it gave me the error code:



 Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


Now as the pure blooded professional student that I am, after just waking up, I didnt think more of it, and thought Id look at it better later. However now when trying to install anything, or update, apt-get gives me the following



Errors were encountered while processing:
cython
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


sudo dpkg --configure -a gives the following

To unblock apt, you’ll need to remove the cython package:



sudo apt purge cython


Fixing the cython installation is likely to be a bit more involved (see the question comments).
