Upgrading google-cloud-sdk Fails on Configure

Asked 20/10, 2016 at 20:14 Answered 15/12, 2019 at 18:47

Upgrading gcloud on Ubuntu 16.04 fails on postinst configuration. The google-cloud-sdk has been installed and used without installation problems, but this is aborting the upgrade at the configuration phase. The problem seems to be that the postinst script is executing a Python3 script with the Python2 interpreter, which fails on a Python3 syntax line.

I encountered the same problem on a Google Compute Engine instance running Ubuntu 16.04, and I was able to resolve it with the following commands:

sudo apt-get remove google-cloud-sdk
export CLOUD_SDK_REPO="cloud-sdk-$(lsb_release -c -s)"
echo "deb https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt $CLOUD_SDK_REPO main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/partner.list
sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk

Yes, I tried removing and re-adding the repo that way, but it didn't help. Only trying for a few upgrades until it finally worked. Google's team was responsive in the ticket, but were never able to explain why their SW was trying to run Python 3 code in a Python 2.7 interpreter. Eventually it just worked without explanation. Hope it doesn't happen again. – Grecoroman 19/2, 2017 at 22:51

You need a vital ` curl packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add - ; sudo apt-get update ` before trying sudo apt-get instal .... – Louth 11/4, 2017 at 22:34

@Grecoroman How did you resolved this error , Becuase same error is happening to me – Polyclitus 4/5, 2017 at 15:6

@Polyclitus "Eventually it just worked without explanation." Maybe Stoian's curl hit works, I dunno. – Grecoroman 6/5, 2017 at 2:7

The direct cause may be a lack of memory. Try to add swap before upgrading.

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap bs=2048 count=524288
sudo chmod 600 /var/swap
sudo mkswap /var/swap
sudo swapon /var/swap
sudo apt upgrade

Nonsmoker answered 4/9, 2017 at 0:49 Comment(4)

I didn't add swap or anything else, either explicitly or implicitly within the subsequent updates to the google-cloud-sdk , but eventually an update caused it to start working again. – Grecoroman 5/9, 2017 at 0:58

@Grecoroman I knew that. My answer is for those who have the same issue and still suffers. – Nonsmoker 9/9, 2017 at 6:17

I'm doing things on a GCE Micro instance; it never struck me that it might be insufficient memory until now. This solved everything. \o/ – Nitriding 4/11, 2017 at 15:19

(Well, almost everything ;) – Nitriding 4/11, 2017 at 15:22

All I did was apply the autoremove flag and it reinstalled on its own fixing itself. It took forever to run on my small instance but it did finally work.

apt-get autoremove

Since the package was python-dialog that was removed, I'm guessing that was the issue... at least for me. :-)

Edit:

Since my google instance was the smallest one possible, there was not enough memory to complete the task. Once I stopped the web server and all PM2 tasks, it finally finished without errors.

Problem loading gcloud.dns.record-sets.import: 'module' object has no attribute 'CAA'.

Cause:

Older Python Packages installed.

I suppose it is an old dnspython

If you use pip:

pip freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1  | xargs -n1 pip install -U

All pip packages will be updated

If you use easy_install you need to check manually

adhere following commands

IF YOU COME ACROSS ANY LOCK USE "SUDO RM TO REMOVE

sudo rm /usr/bin/click

RECTIFY THE BROKEN LIBRARIES

sudo apt autoremove -f click

UPDATES & UPGRADES LIBRARIES

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Maybe one or two explaining sentences would be nicer. – Sexist 5/5, 2021 at 13:35

No reason to shout ;-) – Sexist 7/5, 2021 at 14:50
