sudo apt install python3-minimal

This seems like there were issues during the install.... apt tells you that python is already installed, but it then tries to finish up outstanding tasks (possibly from the install)

There are severe packages inconsistencies and for installing python3 in debian based systems, you install the packagepython3or similar name. If using kali, use something else.

If a new server, I would reinstall it. You are missing essential packages for system and package administration.
