Anytime I run an APT command (for example sudo apt update
) it fetches a couple repositories, and then returns a python error like follows:
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Python path configuration:
PYTHONHOME = (not set)
PYTHONPATH = (not set)
program name = '/usr/bin/python3'
isolated = 0
environment = 1
user site = 1
import site = 1
sys._base_executable = '/usr/bin/python3'
sys.base_prefix = '/usr/local'
sys.base_exec_prefix = '/usr'
sys.platlibdir = 'lib'
sys.executable = '/usr/bin/python3'
sys.prefix = '/usr/local'
sys.exec_prefix = '/usr'
sys.path = [
'/usr/local/lib/python310.zip',
'/usr/local/lib/python3.10',
'/usr/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload',
]
Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding

I have set the $PYTHONHOME
and $PYTHONPATH
variables to my python install. So what is the problem here?
