To answer the question, yes the package was properly installed. And I think you are right regarding python3-apt version being working properly. However, I still can reproduce the error above and I think I may be able to provide better explanation. My system has the following status: sudo dpkg -l python3-apt apt apt-utils libapt-pkg6.0t64 python-apt-common Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-======================-============-============-=========================================== ii apt 2.9.8 amd64 commandline package manager ii apt-utils 2.9.8 amd64 package management related utility programs ii libapt-pkg6.0t64:amd64 2.9.8 amd64 package management runtime library ii python-apt-common 2.9.8 all Python interface to libapt-pkg (locales) ii python3-apt 2.9.8 amd64 Python 3 interface to libapt-pkg I think python3-apt was updated to the latest 2.9.8 after installing python3-pip. This situation allows me to reproduce the error above in python3-apt package with Ansible. Then, upgrading apt package, will upgrade apt-utils and libapt-pkg6.0t64 to the latest version and fix the problem: sudo apt install --only-upgrade apt sudo dpkg -l python3-apt apt apt-utils libapt-pkg6.0t64 python-apt-common Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-======================-============-============-=========================================== ii apt 2.9.26 amd64 commandline package manager ii apt-utils 2.9.26 amd64 package management related utility programs ii libapt-pkg6.0t64:amd64 2.9.26 amd64 package management runtime library ii python-apt-common 2.9.8 all Python interface to libapt-pkg (locales) ii python3-apt 2.9.8 amd64 Python 3 interface to libapt-pkg I think the python3-apt dependency should be updated to require the latest versions of apt, apt-utils, and libapt-pkg6.0.t64 (2.9.26). However, I'm not completely sure about the full dependency chain. From what I see, python3-apt (2.9.8) currently depends on libapt-pkg6.0t64 >= 2.7.11. Does that sound right?
