[Bug 2012110] Re: Software updater displays "You stopped the check for updates"

[Ben Baker]

So I managed to fix this issue on my system.

First I ran `sudo aptd -r` which output a bunch of errors but at the end
it had:

...
pkg_resources.extern.packaging.version.InvalidVersion: Invalid version: '0.25.0-ca5fd8ee'
(package: bcc)

So this pointed at the issue being caused by the bcc package. So I did a
quick search.

$ find /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages -iname bcc-*
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-0.26.0_99726b9e.egg-info
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-0.26.0.egg-info
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-0.25.0_ca5fd8ee.egg-info
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-128_NOTFOUND_ca5fd8ee.egg-info

Then I just deleted them.

$ sudo rm -R /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-0.26.0_99726b9e.egg-info
$ sudo rm -R /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-0.26.0.egg-info
$ sudo rm -R /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-0.25.0_ca5fd8ee.egg-info
$ sudo rm -R /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bcc-128_NOTFOUND_ca5fd8ee.egg-info

Now I can run `update-manager` without any issue. I did then compile and
install the latest version of bcc and it still runs fine.

Hopefully this will help point others in the right direction.

  apt-get update/upgrade works. But software-updater has same behavior after I run it.
