Hi Laszlo, Liming, Jaben and Dandan, I found this is a Ubuntu18 bug. Refer to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fdroidserver/+bug/1762183
And Ubuntu fixed this bug via a Ubuntu18.04.1 update package which was published on 2018-08-09. Refer to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fdroidserver/1.0.9-1~18.04.1 While the latest Ubuntu 18.04 release (ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso) on http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ was published on 2018-07-25. So there is no distutils.util library on Ubuntu18.04 default installation. But I think it's clear that distutils.util is not *3rd party* python library. I have tried that the command "sudo apt upgrade" can't fix this bug while the command "sudo apt-get install python3-distutils" works.

We shouldn't expect developers to install packages from repositories that fall outside of their normal distro repos. However, my understanding was that python3-distutils should be available as a normal (not 3rd party) component on Ubuntu 18. I think we can expect developers to install additional packages if those packages are readily available in their normal (distro-provided) repos. > So, I suggest to check whether python3-distutils is the native python > library. If it is native python library, why Ubuntu18 doesn't include it. I > will work with Dandan to collect more information. Right, that's exactly what I'm asking for. Thank you very much!
