maybe missed basic, appreciate pointers on solving issue.

hi ark2,

can try temporarily disable unattended-upgrades:

modify file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic , change value "0":

code:

apt::periodic::unattended-upgrade "0";

did made changes python setup? please show:

code:

locate apt_pkg.so  ls -l /usr/bin/python

kind regards
