Errors when unpacking python-pkg-resources_44.1.1-1_all.deb
I am running a VM of kali 2020.1 64 bit. When i ran sudo apt-get upgrade i get the following error:
I have checked that both pycompile and pyclean are in the /usr/bin directory. When i tried to manually unpack the python-pkg-resources_44.1.1-1_all.deb file using sudo gdebi python-pkg-resources_44.1.1-1_all.deb i still got errors:Code:Reading package lists...

I have looked around but cannot seem to find a fix for this problem, any help would be appreciated!Code:Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

Done Requires the installation of the following packages: python-pkg-resources Package Discovery and Resource Access using pkg_resources The pkg_resources module provides an API for Python libraries to access their resource files, and for extensible applications and frameworks to automatically discover plugins. It also provides runtime support for using C extensions that are inside zipfile-format eggs, support for merging packages that have separately-distributed modules or subpackages, and APIs for managing Python's current "working set" of active packages.
