Aptdaemon

error in setup.cfg: command 'build' has no such option 'i18n'

Asked by Belal HMEDAN

I'm trying to install the [aptdaemon](https://pypi.org/project/aptdaemon) package on Ubuntu `20.04` as follows: `pip3 install aptdaemon` but I'm getting an error:

`error in setup.cfg: command 'build' has no such option 'i18n'`

I have installed both `python3-distutils` and `python3-distutils-extra`:
```
sudo apt install --reinstall python3-distutils
sudo apt install --reinstall python3-distutils-extra
```
but still the error appears.

Can you please tell me how can I get rid of this error in setup.py build requirements? thanks in advance.

Why don't you use the aptdaemon package that is provided in the Ubuntu repositories?
sudo apt install aptdaemon
or
sudo apt install python3-aptdaemon
(depending on the package that you need)
