16.10, Could not update, open terminal, software center

If that can help, just found out:

ericg@mainews:~$ sudo update-manager -d
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 28, in <module>
    import gi
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'

And here, cannot remove these:

N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
W: No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/_var_cache_apt-build_repository_dists_apt-build_Release
W: Invalid 'Date' entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/_var_cache_apt-build_repository_dists_apt-build_Release

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I see two issues, both of them just minor:

1. "N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension"
What is the output of
cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist
ls -l /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/

2. "E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/gearman-developers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found"
The gearman-developers PPA does not provide software for yakkety and has to be removed from the list of repositories.
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gearman-developers-ubuntu-ppa-yakkety.list

Hello and thanks Manfred,

This one is done now thanks, but cannot get read of these, even with rm -f

Which version of apt do you currently have?
Which version "1.3.3 from Michael Vogt"?
You should have 1.3.4 from the yakkety-updates repository.

What is the output of
apt-cache policy apt libapt-pkg5.0

Where does this "W: No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/_var_cache_apt-build_repository_dists_apt-build_Release" message come from? It is not in the output of the troubleshooting procedure. What command did you execute to get it?

What is the output of
ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/

what is the output of:

grep -R gear /etc/apt/*

Thanks

Hello and thanks again,

Here is the output of:

and the output of:
 ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/

ls: cannot open directory '/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/': Permission denied

I don't know where that comes from. I've been installing a Bind9 and a DHCP and DDNS Kea server and I had a bit of fuss with Boost... and my Ubuntu install dates from not even a week... Actually I had an old dvd with Ubuntu 16.04 on it and I could not install it neither on CPU and laptop, same with an old version of MInt

Ok, then what is the output of

sudo ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/
sudo apt-get update

Hey Andrew, and thanks

The output of:

grep -R gear /etc/apt/*

No output whatsoever.

Try
sudo rm -v /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*

Have you (after executing the troubleshooting procedure) installed the apt-build package? If yes, which what intention?

What is now the output of
find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

Sorry, I was away for 45 mns with my son.

Yes I dld apt-build, with no real intention at the moment, but might be
useful now or then.

I see contradictory information in your output.

In comment #10 the command "sudo ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/" lists a file and a link in that directory, but comment #13 now gives "No such file or directory" when trying to remove these files.

And adding additional software (apt-build) during the discussion to solve your problem has also contributed in a negative way, because it created additional errors.

Sorry was away once more... About contradictory output I simply don't know.
I tried several times to force removal of the files then:
clean
autoclean
autoremove and
sudo
apt update..
It comes back.
About downloading apt-build, my mistake.

What is now the output of

sudo apt-get update

?

I cannot update apart from the terminal that I can only open with a right click on the desktop.
I have this no trespassing next to the network connection, and can't open the updater.
I think it's a problem with the dates updates, they are really weird and iI can't open the locale manager neither.
I did a checkup with Ubuntu earlier today, hope to have news soon.

Output of:

sudo apt-get update is the same

What is now the output of

ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/

All the error messages in your last output relate to apt-build. Maybe uninstalling that package resolves the related problems.

here's the output of:

ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/

Ok, and what is now the output of

sudo rm -v /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/_var*

?

Output of:

sudo rm -v /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/_var*

rm: cannot remove '/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/_var*': No such file or directory

1. uninstalling the package is not done with the command
sudo rm -f apt-build
but with a command like
sudo apt-get purge apt-build

2. please issue the following commands immediately one after the other

ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/
sudo rm -v /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/_var*

and copy/paste the output.

Sorry, slight modification required:

I do not know what you have done to your system, but it seems extremely misconfigured.

e.g.
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt'
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

And the output
"""
ericg@mainews:~$ sudo ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/

"""

is absolutely incomprehensible for me. The ls command lists files, but the rm command says that there are none.

Try again the following way:

sudo rm -rfv /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
ls -la /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
sudo rm -v /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-build.list
sudo apt-get update

What results do you get?

For

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt'
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

you might try reinstalling the python-apt package

What is the output of
apt-cache policy python-apt
