File "/usr/bin/pyclean", line 63 except (IOError, OSError), e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax One explanation for this is that pyclean is actually be run by python3 instead of python2.7. To confirm and invalidate reports like this apport should check to see what /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python3 are symlinks to or doulbe check the versions of /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python3. ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1681528 Title: Include information about python versions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1681528/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
