What is the output of python3 --version? – Kulfy Jul 31 '19 at 12:08 — Kulfy, Jul 31 '19 at 12:08

This is because of the incompatibility of Python 3 version. You have installed Python version 3.7.3 and made it default. The default version of Python 3 in 18.04 Bionic Beaver is 3.6.8. You need to switch back to version 3.6.8. To do so, run

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.6 1
sudo update-alternatives --config python3

and enter 1.

@Ariel 1. You misspelled python3-aptdaemon. 2. apt is busy elsewhere. There's nothing to worry about. Either wait for sometime or run sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend; sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock; sudo apt update; sudo apt install python3-aptdaemon. – Kulfy Aug 08 '19 at 18:15

I ran across this issue today. Seems like async has been added as a functional symbol between 3.6.8 and 3.6.9 (which is ridiculous - such thing should not change between patch levels).
I had to edit /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/aptdaemon/client.py and replace each occurrence of "async" with a different variable name (I just appended a character). After this my system was able to install all the missing packages again.

So the real culprit seems to be a change in Python3 that seems out of scope of the version change.

These following command worked for me :

sudo apt-get remove python3-apt
sudo apt-get install python3-apt
sudo apt remove python3-aptdaemon
sudo apt install python3-aptdaemon
