Upgrading gcloud on Ubuntu 16.04 fails on postinst configuration. The google-cloud-sdk has been installed and used without installation problems, but this is aborting the upgrade at the configuration phase. The problem seems to be that the postinst script is executing a Python3 script with the Python2 interpreter, which fails on a Python3 syntax line.

The direct cause may be a lack of memory. Try to add swap before upgrading.
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap bs=2048 count=524288
sudo chmod 600 /var/swap
sudo mkswap /var/swap
sudo swapon /var/swap
sudo apt upgrade
I encountered the same problem on a Google Compute Engine instance running Ubuntu 16.04, and I was able to resolve it with the following commands:
sudo apt-get remove google-cloud-sdk
export CLOUD_SDK_REPO="cloud-sdk-$(lsb_release -c -s)"
echo "deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt $CLOUD_SDK_REPO main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/partner.list
sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk
All I did was apply the autoremove flag and it reinstalled on its own fixing itself. It took forever to run on my small instance but it did finally work.
apt-get autoremove
Since the package was python-dialog that was removed, I'm guessing that was the issue... at least for me. :-)
Edit:
Since my google instance was the smallest one possible, there was not enough memory to complete the task. Once I stopped the web server and all PM2 tasks, it finally finished without errors.
Problem loading gcloud.dns.record-sets.import: 'module' object has no attribute 'CAA'.
Cause:
Older Python Packages installed.
I suppose it is an old dnspython
If you use pip:
pip freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U
All pip packages will be updated
If you use easy_install you need to check manually
