The package from Debian works (as mentioned in comment #5) because it is the "original" Python2.7 version. The package in Ubuntu includes a (incomplete) port to Python3. Now, going back to Python2 would probably "fix" these problems, but Python2 is being phased out in the upcoming Ubuntu releases. Therefore, moving to Python3 does actually make sense, but there is no effort upstream being put into axi. It should probably disappear.
I suggest you use `apt search` and `apt show` instead of `axi-cache`. Is there anything that `axi-cache` can do and cannot be done with `apt`? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612948 Title: axi-cache conversion to python3 broke the script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian-index/+bug/1612948/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
