apt-get, apt and aptitude work all just fine and produce no errors nor
warnings.
update-notifier/apt-check is, indeed, responsible for the error message.
gioele:~$ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check
Error in sitecustomize; set PYTHONVERBOSE for traceback:
AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding'
0;0gioele:~$ echo $?
0
Please note the missing newline between the end of the output of apt-
check and the prompt.
gioele:~$ which python
/usr/bin/python
gioele:~$ readlink -f /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python2.7
Thank you Sebastien for the triaging.
