I'm trying to do this:

sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"

And getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 11, in <module>
    from softwareproperties.SoftwareProperties import SoftwareProperties, shortcut_handler
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 28, in <module>
    import apt_pkg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

OK, like here, I'm removing and reinstalling python-apt and python3-apt, but then I get:

sudo add-apt-repository    "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

Like here, I do:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

But then I get the same issue as the first one: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg' and it all starts over. What should I do?

  • do sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade work at all? I dunno what your terminal is on about saying add-apt-repository is an unknown command. sounds like something's very broken at a sytem level. – tatsu Jun 06 '19 at 09:39
