Can't install any package

#1

Hi all! I just did a fresh install of Sublime Text after formatting my computer (Ubuntu 18.04) however, despite being able to install the Package Control, I can’t install anything else. I just tried to install the Material Theme and Latex Tools, and it looks like Package Control can’t find the dependencies.

Here is the full log

I’m having the exact same issue on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.2 with a fresh copy of sublime text. It looks like the code for dependency management is broken so you have to go in and manually fix it yourself.

The packages that don’t seem to work are python-jinja2 and markupsafe (I was trying to install EasyClangComplete).

Here’s what I did. Some steps are probably extraneous but it only worked after a bunch of experimentation.

  1. Create a folder called jinja2 under /home/username/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages and copy python 3’s version of jinja2 in there. Press ctrl + ` and make sure you can import jinja2. If not, do the same thing with all the dependencies of jinja2 which seemed to be markupsafe. Make sure you copy the __init__.py into the immediate directory as it seems the resolver can’t find it if you do sub directories for some reason…
  2. Create a folder called python-jinja2 under the same Packages folder to trick the sublime text dependency finder into thinking it exists (it will work because the correct package of jinja2 is installed).
  3. It should automatically install. If not, restart sublime text.

I’m not sure why this has been broken and no one noticed… I guess there aren’t any new people installing sublime text on Ubuntu 18.04.

I came across this error in the new version of sublime text 3 as well.

Thanks for providing the solution to install jinja2. But how do you install the markupsafe package?

You can do the same thing. Download a copy of the markupsafe package for python 3 anywhere. Create a folder called markupsafe and extract everything inside it (no sub directories!).

@FichteFoll thanks for the link. I was wondering why the downloads of my package are so low in the last week or so.
