I got this error pop up around 4 times every login on Kubuntu 13.10 amd64 (upgraded), and then at random intervals after that.
Oddly on my other Kubuntu 13.10 amd64 box (again upgraded) this module is available for python 2.7: >>> import packagekit.backend >>> packagekit.backend <module 'packagekit.backend' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/packagekit/backend.pyc'> The py files on my working box were in /usr/share/pyshared/packagekit and symlinked to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/packagekit. They must have come from some old package that was removed during the upgrade but preserved the files I guess? I tested out two possible workarounds and they both seemed to work: 1. Modify /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/aptcc/get-distro-upgrade.py and change the first line to: #!/usr/bin/env python3 2. Copy over /usr/share/pyshared/packagekit/ from my working box and symlink the py files to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/packagekit/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246539 Title: get-distro-upgrade.py needs to be converted to python3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/+bug/1246539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
