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`?
