[Bug 2072634] Re: TypeError exception when importing Unity

[Sebastien Bacher]

Checking some of the errors.ubuntu.com entry those reports almost all
have

InterpreterPath  /usr/bin/python3.10 
Python3Details /usr/local/bin/python3.7, Python 3.7.6, unpackaged 

So it seems those systems have a broken python installation (they also
seem to be mostly in chinese locale and reported in a specific period in
Septembre so maybe a broken local deployment somewhere?)


Those systems are broken and I don't think the fix is going to help much, it will workaround the unity import erroring out but it's likely that the next module loaded will hit the same error due to the python3.7 interpreter being using where 22.04 is on 3.10 and modules are built for that version

Let me know if you disagree, but I think it's just a wontfix for update-
manager, the admins/users need to fix their system

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Jammy)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Noble)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
