Update Manager doesn't work “ImportError: No module named 'codecs'”
Hello,
Dear awesome community
Each time I try sudo update-manager it returns
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
Traceback (most recent call last): File
"/usr/lib/python3.4/encodings/__ init __.py", line 31, in
ImportError: No module named 'codecs'
I tried the following with the help of my brother schultza from the IRC boys.:
sudo apt-get update // no errors
sudo apt-get clean // no errors
sudo apt-get install -fy // same error
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3 // same error
sudo apt-get install --reinstall dpkg apt update-manager python // same error
sudo apt-get autoremove // same error
sudo apt-get upgrade // same error
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python3.4 //E: Internal Error, No file name for python3.4:amd64
sudo apt-get install python3.4 // same error (Dependency problems )
python --version //Python 2.7.6
- sudo apt-get -f install // same error (Dependency problems )
And I didn't modify the "__ init __.py" file .
Here is a full error code with my name removed:
http://pastebin.com/YX3m1HRy
I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Thanks for being Awesome

Could you check how many versions of python do you have on your system? It seems 2.7.6, but apt is using a messy 3.4, tryls /usr/libcommand and look at python directory. Also could you update your question with Ubuntu version?

This can happen if your filesystem has been damaged. Check the logs for hints, and also look inside /lost+found.
The solution is to reinstall the package containing the missing module.
Find the Ubuntu package providing this file:
dpkg -S /usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py
Reinstall the package:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpython3.4-minimal
Also, reinstall the packages that provide any other files found in lost+found
