I tried to add a ppa and y got the message here after. The ppa is not added, i.e. not in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.

$ sudo add-apt-repository -d ppa:fenics-packages/fenics

Notice it is not due the ppa since I have tried several other ppa. Moreover, I also tried to purge software-properties-common, and it has not fixed the problem.

Here are the info of my system :

$ lsb_release -rd

Have you made any changes to your *default* python3? eg. Errors like what you're seeing (*along with other tools that require a working python3*) are expected if you've changed defaults; is `python3 -V` showing the correct result for a 22.04.2 system?

No changes to my knowledge. `$ python3 -VV Python 3.10.6 (main, May 29 2023, 11:10:38) [GCC 11.3.0]`

There was a bug raised which has since been resolved. Please see their official message

We've reverted the relevant part of frontend configuration and this is now fixed. However, if you're still seeing programs failing with errors that mention api.launchpad.test, then you'll need to run rm -rf ~/.launchpadlib/api.launchpad.net/cache/ and try again. (Unfortunately recovering automatically from bad cache data lifetime is hard!)

This answer would have been better if you'd copy/pasted the text from those *Launchpad Status* account posts.... (*I can't see Colin Watson or whomever else can post to the ML would mind; esp. if you credit the source*) . This site prefers not answers to that require you to read another page that provides notice of the fix & workaround if it didn't fix the issue for you.

This has done the trick ! I will just add that the folder to remove is in /root, so the command is `rm -rf /root/.launchpadlib/api.launchpad.net/cache/`

Try going with:

sudo apt-get install python3-launchpadlib

Solved the issue for me.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
