Cannot update due to Python package error <Solved>

[AquaticDwarf]

I was attempting to use the automatic update manager, however after loading some files, it returns this error

Code: Select all

E: python3: installed python3 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 4

and doesn't appear to have downloaded any of the updates.
I am using Linux Mint x86_64bit Cinnamon 5.4.11 and have tried running the command

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove

to resolve the issue, but that seems to result in a different error

Code: Select all

W: GPG error: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu bionic InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 76F1A20FF987672F
E: The repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu bionic InRelease' is not signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

Which does not seem to be resolved by adding

Code: Select all

--allow-unauthenticated

any alternative paths toward resolving these issues would be appreciated.

Hello, AquaticDwarf.

Please, share your Linux Mint System Information with us.
The steps how to do so can be found e.g. in the post over there: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=318644

Next, please, execute the terminal command sudo apt update and share the complete text output, which it will display in the terminal window.

Finally, execute the terminal command sudo apt upgrade and share the complete text output, which it will display in the terminal window.

Regards,
Karl

Hello AquaticDwarf.

You are using Mint 21. It is based on Ubuntu 22.04 jammy.

Your sources list files, however, hold references to 2 older Ubuntu versions for Wine, to focal and to bionic.
Use Software Sources and remove those

Code: Select all

  Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-bionic.sources
    1: deb [arch=amd64 i386] https: //dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu bionic main
  Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-focal.sources
    1: deb [arch=amd64 i386] https: //dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu focal main

Keep only the Wine repository entry for Ubuntu 22.04 jammy.

Code: Select all

Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-jammy.sources
    1: deb [arch=amd64 i386] https: //dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu jammy main

Execute sudo apt update again and share the terminal output again, please.

Hello, AquaticDwarf.

Your software sources also list a PPA named oibaf.

Code: Select all

  Active apt repos in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oibaf-graphics-drivers-jammy.list
    1: deb http: //ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu jammy main

While oibaf may be helpful in resolving cases, where your brand new hardware needs more recent graphic driver software than available from the default software repositories, the drivers from the same PPA may also cause new trouble, because driver software is updated in really short intervals.
Thus you are running a high rist that the drivers, which you received from oibaf and which fixed a problem yesterday, may be the source of trouble a few days later, because they have been updated to again.
Your decision to run this risk or to disable the oibaf PPA, thus avoiding constant updates of graphic driver software in short intervals.

Hello, AquaticDwarf.

About the (last) warning, displayed by "sudo apt update":

Code: Select all

W: http://ppa.launchpad.net/oibaf/graphics-drivers/ubuntu/dists/jammy/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details

In case you do not wish to ignore the warning, but to get rid of it, in this case you may be interested in this article:
apt-key Is Deprecated. How To Add OpenPGP Repository Signing Keys Without It On Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Etc.
(Hopefully future Ubuntu releases will bring along either a fixed apt-key command or an appropriate replacement, which will spare the users the hassle of adding Signing Keys manually in the now recommended way.)

Final comment from my side:

Once you have fixed the issues explained in the 2 posts above, please, re-run sudo apt update and share its complete output again.

You may also execute sudo apt upgrade and share that complete output as well.

Karl

I hate to add further complication to this problem, but I do not see any place where to remove the older Wine versions or any alternative to the PPA oibaf listed within my Software sources.

I hate to add further complication to this problem, but I do not see any place where to remove the older Wine versions or any alternative to the PPA oibaf listed within my Software sources.

Excluding the oibaf PPA for the moment, removing the obsolete WineHQ repository entries, which applied to Ubuntu 18.04 bionic (Mint 19.x) and to Ubuntu 20.04 focal (Mint 20.x), is easy:

First way:
Either
You start the application Software Sources from the Linux Mint application menu. You locate the 2 obsolete repositories and disable them (or you delete them). You keep the WineHQ entry for Ubuntu 22.04 jammy (Mint 21), however.
or
Second way:
(And this on is even easier) In a terminal window you execute the 2 commands:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-bionic.sources
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq-focal.sources

This removes the 2 no longer needed WineHQ software sources from the list of your software sources.
Next you execute

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

and share the text output, which it will display in the terminal window, with us, please.

I removed them via the additional Wine repositories via the terminal and followed the advice of Olaf as well and got this as a result

[Olaf2020]

I have no other ideas

[spamegg]

I have no other ideas

Probably something like apt remove renpy then try again?

[AquaticDwarf]

I have no other ideas

Probably something like apt remove renpy then try again?

I ran
apt remove renpy
like Spamegg suggested and then re-ran the lines of codes Olaf had suggested
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/python3.postinst
sudo apt clean
sudo apt install --reinstall python3
sudo apt install -f
and it seems to have worked. I can now install updates like normal.
Thanks for your help Spamegg, Olaf2020 and Karlchen!
