| Subject | apt-listchanges error |
| Message-ID | <tLawi-6pJ-19@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Hi all;
A while ago, while updating my Debian testing system, I got the
following error:
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Setting up apt-listchanges (3.10) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/tmp.kqhvU8IqOr.aptlc/debconf-helper.py", line 6, in <module>
import debconf
ImportError: No module named 'debconf'
dpkg: error processing package apt-listchanges (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
apt-listchanges
This error has persisted ever since. I am starting to have several
strange things happen to my system - unable to move windows with mounse
and unable to cut an paste from the monitor - that may or may not be
caused by this error. I am not sure what the effect of the error would
be nor do I know how to fix it. I found a bug report that was similar
but none of the suggested fixes fixed this one.
Note: There is no tmp.kqhvU8IqOr.aptlc/debconf-helper.py file on my
system. Debconf is definitely installed.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
Gary R.

Please post the output of the following commands: python --version python -m debconf dpkg -V debconf -- Liam

This module is shipped in the debconf package. Does
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debconf.py exist on your system?
Cheers,
Sven

I seem to have an Anaconda problem. python --version gave Python 3.5.2 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit) python -m debconf gave /root/anaconda3/bin/python: No module named debconf dpkg -V debconf gave nothing /usr/lib/python3/sidt-packages/debconf.py does exist. I've been doing a lot of work with anaconda python lately. Not sure how to shut this off. Gary R.

The default "python" on a Debian system is 2.x, not 3.x, and changing /usr/bin/python to point to python3.x is likely to break things. wooledg:~$ python --version Python 2.7.13 wooledg:~$ python3 --version Python 3.5.3 > python -m debconf gave /root/anaconda3/bin/python: No module named debconf > dpkg -V debconf gave nothing > > /usr/lib/python3/sidt-packages/debconf.py does exist. > > I've been doing a lot of work with anaconda python lately.

Turns out that my system was defaulting to the Anaconda python installation when I used bash. I removed the path to anaconda and it fixed the problem. It will be interesting to see what happens the next time I use Anaconda. Gary R.
