@HDarwin

@HDarwin hi! You solved this problem?

Hm,
before install libapt-pkg-dev
pip install https://launchpad.net/python-apt/main/0.7.8/+download/python-apt-0.8.5.tar.gz

Hi,
have anyone solved this issue?

@HalisCz

@HalisCz, installing python-apt as @reddoggad suggests solves it for me.

For me too. Thanks

I'm having the same problem, putting here my solution for reference.

The Pypi version of python-apt package it's not updated. Usually the best is to install the system apt python-apt package, but sometimes running a virtualenv isolated from the system you also need to install the python package.

I've found the Debian repository of python-apt and install it with pip using the correct branch for my system:

sudo apt-get install libapt-pkg-dev  # so gcc find the <apt-pkg/hashes.h>
pip install git+https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/python-apt.git@ubuntu/trusty

and it works.

@tinproject

@tinproject I'm facing the same issue but the second command fails:

Collecting git+https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/python-apt.git
  Cloning https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/python-apt.git to /tmp/pip-uh0FwI-build fatal: unable to access 'https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/python-apt.git/': Failed  to connect to anonscm.debian.org port 443: Connection refused
Command "git clone -q https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/python-apt.git /tmp/pip-uh0 FwI-build" failed with error code 128 in None

Did the url changed? Thanks!

EDIT: I'm using Windows 10

@aaossa

@aaossa You are not including the branch/tag part of the git repo at the pip command. Also I do not know why you want to install python-apt package in a non Debian system...

On Linux Mint 18 I've found that there is no ubuntu/xenial branch, but using the tag 1.1.0_beta5 it works.

I tried because when I wanted to update my python packaged it was listed as outdated (python-apt (0.9.3.5ubuntu2) - Latest: 0.7.8 [sdist]). After that I tried to update all of them but python-apt failed. I'll try your suggestiong. Thanks!

@tinproject

The new URL is https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/python-apt.git. Thanks @tinproject for the pointer! 🇪🇸

Just chiming in to confirm: I had the same problem, and making this change to my requirements.txt file fixed it:

diff --git a/requirements.txt b/requirements.txt
index 92fb4e5..6ca12d7 100644

In my case, though, for an Ubuntu 20.04 target, I also needed to run:

$ sudo apt install libapt-pkg-dev

in order for pip install -r requirements.txt to succeed. Without this package installed, I kept getting this error:

But the error that started this whole odyssey was this:

(I'm selfishly including that last bit so that Google will lead me back to this page if/when I encounter the same error in the future...)
