@dexter in #1, I also tried moving the `import requests_unixsocket` line up out of the try-except block, and also found that it worked. (None of the other proposed solutions, including reinstalling all of the proposed packages, had any effect). Strangely, afer *undoing* those change, i.e. moving the `import requests_unixsocket` line back into the try-except block, software-properties-gtk was *still* able to start!
Not sure how to explain this, other than perhaps some race condition (interprocess comms via DBus?), or perhaps some old .pyc file that was regenerated after the source .py file as updated. Who knows. Either way, this is still a huge issue. This was a fresh install of Xubuntu 20.04.5. Issue started happening a couple of weeks after installing the OS. No idea what triggered it. Note that `import dateutil.parser` works fine. Everything in that try- except block imports fine when I try it in a separate python3 session. Also, if I try pasting `print(requests_unixsocket)` anywhere outside that block, it works fine. It was only when I tried pasting it in `LivepatchService.__init__` that it failed, almost as if some other module was internally deleting the name from the namespace. Very mysterious. Also note that I completely uninstalled snap (which I absolutely detest) on this system, but software-properties-gtk was working fine for a couple of weeks after uninstalling snap. I haven't had this problem on another fully update Xubuntu 20.04 system, where I also uninstalled snap long ago. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830914 Title: software-properties-gtk does not run at all!
